Identifying Insect Bites

RE: Identifying Insect Bites By Mythi (94) Profile Contact Did she have any blotchy spots on her face or anyplace else after she got bit? If so, I would say a spider bite. Does she have any swelling in the area of the bite? I would say take her to a doctor and get her checked out. If she starts getting bad headaches take her in right away, she could have an infection if it's a tick bit.

My daughter was forever getting "contact dermatitis" when she was young, which is just a medical term for "Hey, your kid is allergic to something but we don't know what; rub this creme on it a couple of times a day and it will go away." LOL!!! Anytime that there is something suspicious like that, you may want to take her to the doctor to be absolutely certain of what it is, because it could be so many things. Good luck, and God bless.

Let us know how she is.

Look online at some pictures & see if it's a brown recluse spider bite because if it is a bite from the Brown Recluse Spider it needs to be treated immediately or she could have many long term health problems...

The black dot would be the stinger.

The very tiny deer tick looks like a frickle but it turns red with the black dot being the tick and it gets painful. I hope she doesn't have any ticks but that was the first thing that came to my mind. They are really bad this year/ My husband has had at least 7 or 8 this Summer already. Hope she clears up soon. Best wishes & prayers. Posted on 07/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
