Understanding insect bite
Insect bites from mosquitoes, midges, fleas, bedbugs and wasps cause itchy, red bumps and sometimes swelling. Most settle in a few days.

Mosquitoes bite most at dusk, while wasps, bees and horseflies are active outdoors in summer. Bedbugs and fleas can be found in some accommodation.
Signs of insect bite to look for
- Itchy red bumps
- Blistering in sensitive skin
- Clusters of bites, for example from fleas or bedbugs
- Swelling around the bite
- Pain or burning with stings

Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the physician what you have been drinking and taking.
