Bugs or mites can bite humans and are often encountered inside and outside. Some feed off the blood of humans and pets, surviving like mosquitoes, fleas and bed bugs. Other bugs and mites tend to bite if they feel threatened. It's likely you will see a bug at some point in the day, but that does not mean you will definitely get bitten. But if you do, it is best to know what kind of bite it is to determine if medical attention is needed.
Instructions
1. Examine the bite for redness, irritation and/or blisters. These kinds of bites are caused by fire ants, fleas, chiggers and spiders. There are usually multiple bites in the same area that will appear to be raised from the skin. A spider bite is singular and raised with puss in the center of the bite, requiring medical attention.
2. Feel the itch of the bite. Mosquitoes, bed bugs and fleas are bugs and mites with bites that can cause itching. If you continue to scratch the bites, it will cause irritation and possibly a rash.
3. Analyze the bug or mite bite for a rash. You may break out in a rash from an allergic reaction to the bite or from scratching. Mosquitoes, skin mites, fleas and chiggers can cause a red bumpy rash throughout the body.
4. Take notice of the bug and mite bite that hurts. A tick can cause pain once it has bitten into the skin. After biting, if it falls off or is removed, it will leave behind a red swollen bump. Tick bites can also cause itching and a rash. A spider can cause pain after biting. The bite may appear swollen with puss in the center, raised above the skin. Fire ants and fly bites can also hurt. Fire ants leave several bites that create severe itching and swelling. Large flies rarely bite, but when they do, it stings and leaves behind a light red circular mark.
