Tick bites are special. There’s a red ring around a dark dot, sometimes black. Remove ticks right—use Vaseline or rubbing alcohol to drown it first, then tweeze it out. Put it in a sealed container and take it to your doc to test for Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
A wasp sting looks like a mosquito bite, but there’s a clear mark in the middle. It’s itchy and painful, and the area swells and turns red.
Honey bees don’t sting as much as wasps, but it happens. You’ll know a bee sting when you see the stinger left in the skin. Use tweezers to remove it and disinfect the spot.
Red ant bites seem like flea bites, but here’s the difference: flea bites itch right away; red ant bites hurt instantly.
Spider bites vary by spider type. Generally, they’re hard, red, itchy, and painful. Sometimes, you can even see two tiny puncture marks.
