Insect bites or stings
DESCRIPTION The bite from fire ants and the sting from bees, wasps, and hornets usually cause an immediate painful skin reaction. Mosquitoes, fleas, mites, and spiders have bites that are more likely to cause itching than pain.

In most cases, bites and stings can be easily treated at home. However, some people have a severe allergic reaction to insect bites and stings. This is a life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, and it requires urgent emergency care. Severe reactions can affect the whole body and may occur very quickly, often within minutes. These severe reactions can be rapidly fatal if untreated. Call 911 if you are with someone who has trouble breathing or goes into shock.
Some spider bites, like those of the black widow or brown recluse, are also serious and can be life-threatening. Most spider bites, however, are harmless. If bitten by an insect or spider, bring it for identification if this can be done quickly and safely.
What's the difference between a bite and a sting? The differences are due to the nature of the bite or sting. Venomous insects attack as a defense mechanism, injecting painful, toxic venom through their stingers to punish you so you'll stay away next time. Non-venomous insects bite and usually inject anti-coagulant saliva in order to feed on your blood. Although local irritation and "allergic" reactions do occur from non-venomous bites, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock only happen from venom stings.
When honey bees sting, they leave the stinger and venom sack attached. Venom continues to pump in through the stinger until the sack is empty or the stinger is removed. The only good part about this is that honey bees die after they sting. Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets don't leave their stingers, thus can sting you over and over.
Harmful arthropods of the U.S. include:
  • Bees: Bumblebees, sweat bees, honeybees
  • Wasps: Hornets, wasps
  • Ants: Fire ants, harvester ants
  • Brown recluse spider
  • Black widow spider
  • Hobo spiders
  • Scorpions
  • Mosquitoes
  • Flies: Deer, horse, black, stable, and biting midges
  • Lice: Body, head, pubic
  • Bugs: Kissing, bed, wheel
  • Fleas: Human, cat, dog
  • Mites: Itch mite (scabies), red bugs (chiggers)
  • Ticks
  • Caterpillars: Puss, browntail, buck, moth saddleback
  • Centipedes
Characteristic reactions include:
  • Local tissue irritation, inflammation and destruction
  • Systemic effects related to inoculated poisons
  • Allergic reactions: Immediate or delayed
For emergencies (severe reactions):
  • Check the person's airway and breathing. If necessary, call 911 and begin rescue breathing and CPR.
  • Reassure the person. Try to keep him or her calm.
  • Remove nearby rings and constricting items because the affected area may swell.
  • Use the person's Epi-pen or other emergency kit, if they have one. (Some people who have serious insect reactions carry it with them.)
  • If appropriate, treat the person for signs of shock. Remain with the person until medical help arrives.
General steps for most bites and stings:
  • Remove the stinger if still present by scraping the back of a credit card or other straight-edged object across the stinger.
    Do not use tweezers -- these may squeeze the venom sac and increase the amount of venom released.
  • Wash the site thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Place ice (wrapped in a washcloth) on the site of the sting for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process.
  • If necessary, take an antihistamine or apply creams that reduce itching.
  • Over the next several days, watch for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain).
