Insect Bites and Stings
Insect bites and stings result from insects injecting venom or saliva into the skin. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and itching. Most insect bites and stings are harmless but can cause allergic reactions or infections. Treatment often involves cleaning the area and applying ice. Severe symptoms require medical attention.
