Bed Bug Bites

Bed bug bites create large wheels of bites made in orderly rows. Itching and skin redness both on and around bite sites are common. Localized swelling and the formation of blisters may occur. The bite wheels are gradually reduced to red marks, which slowly fade over the span of a few days.

 
Black Fly Bites

The black fly, or biting fly, can produce a number of symptoms with their bites including pain on and around the bite site, and itching .The most common allergic reactions are hives or wheezing. Prolonged scratching can result in a secondary infection.

 

Chigger Bites

Chigger bites produce small raised red lesions on the skin. Bites can cause pain and itching. Symptoms can be similar to those of poison ivy or poison oak. Highly sensitive people may experience swelling or blistering of the bite area. Scratching may cause irritated areas to spread, and appear as a rash.

 

Fire Ant Bites

A fire ants bite is painful! Redness typically surrounds the bite forming lighter colored rings around a darker center. Pain is present as symptoms progress. Runners of redness will shoot out from the bite area at times. Fever, nausea, aches, tiredness, and other flu-like symptoms may occur.

 

Flea Bites

A rash with small bumps that itch and may bleed when scratched. Bites are most often located in a crease of skin or joint of the body where fleas like to hide. Larger skin areas may be affected over time as bite areas enlarge. Touching the bites will cause the bite area to turn white. Itching may be localized or can become generalized and can become severe. If the itching is indulged, swelling around bite or rash areas can occur and may take several days to subside.
