What are the symptoms of stinging insect bites

Now in spring, many animals and small insects are out and about. In addition to the flies and mosquitoes that we are very familiar with, there is another small insect that often bites people. If you are bitten by it, it will release a certain amount of venom and cause skin disease symptoms. It is the rove beetle. Because it contains venom, if you are bitten by a rove beetle, you must go to the hospital for detoxification and swelling treatment. What are the symptoms of being bitten by a rove beetle and how to deal with it?

The venom of the rove beetle is highly acidic and can cause strong corrosion to the skin, causing symptoms such as pain, burning, itching, flaky edematous erythema or small pustules, and erosion. In severe cases, there may also be symptoms such as skin necrosis, fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, and swollen lymph nodes. If not handled properly, it can cause extensive skin infection. You can choose alkaline substances to neutralize it (do not use alkali), you can use toothpaste, soda, soapy water, etc. to treat the skin, and then wash it with clean water. After that, apply acyclovir cream to the wound. You can also use calamine lotion to treat the wound, which is very effective. If symptoms worsen again, seek medical attention immediately.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, the toxins remain in the local area and produce a certain immune response to the tissues, which usually causes itching and pain in the area, and is often accompanied by the area being higher than the normal skin and redder. It is recommended to use cupping immediately to remove the poison from the local bite area and reduce the residual venom. Then apply antiseptic and antipruritic ointment externally. If the itching is severe, it is recommended to take anti-allergic drugs at the same time. It usually heals in 2 to 3 days. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.

It is said that most people experience darkening of the pigment for a month after being bitten, which is normal. Because I am also from the south (Jiangxi), there are a lot of these insects in this season. Like the poster, I was also bitten by the stinging bug two weeks ago, but I was in a terrible situation. There were bites on my face, hands, and even my body was infected (I was so disfigured that I wanted to catch all the bugs and burn them to death). Now the skin has shed, and the color is gradually becoming the same as other parts of my body.
