Bug Bites: The Basics
Whether from a mosquito or a tick or a bee, it's not pleasant to get a bite or a sting. While most bites and stings cause mild problems like itching, a rash, or swelling, some can be more serious or even life threatening. Identifying what caused the bite or sting is important to help determine the best way to treat it. Home treatment can help with most bites and stings, but you should seek medical attention if you start having symptoms like difficulty breathing, muscle aches, or chills.
