Signs of Insect Bite to Look for
- Blistering in sensitive skin
- Swelling around the bite
- Clusters of bites, for example from fleas or bedbugs
- Itchy red bumps
- Pain or burning with stings
Prevention Tips
Use repellent, cover up at dusk, check bedding in new accommodation and keep the skin clean to avoid infection.
