You feel a sharp pain and then look down all of a sudden on your arm you see a
red mark could this fight be dangerous or is it totally safe
that's the question many people ask when they're bitten by a bark watch this and
say goodbye to mysterious red marks on your body with this information you'll
be able to spot exactly what bug has bitten you and if it's dangerous or safe
I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at ten bug bites you need to be
able to identify birth before he gets bitten too much why not subscribe and
press the notification bell - coming up first we have Hornet Hornets are also
known as the Asian wasp but they can be found in Europe Russia North America and
Northeast Asia many people swat these away thinking that there was Orbeez but
actually they're far more dangerous in fact every year 1,100 people passed away
due to hornet stings they can be very dangerous and must be treated
immediately especially if it's on a child but how
can you identify a Hornet sting well the area around where you've been stung will
become a very swollen and red this will cover a large area around where you've
been stung you may even get blisters forming on your skin where you've been
stung the person who's been stung will also likely be in a very bad pain it
will be far more extreme and painful than a wasp or bee sting
Hornets can sometimes be double the size of a wasp or bee and because of this
hornets can store a lot of poison inside them when you're stung that poison goes
into your body the poison contains two very harmful elements acetylcholine and
histamine histamine can cause extreme itching it also can affect your brain
spinal cord and uterus that's why if you've been stung and feel cold in the
limbs then that this could have been Hornet also if your ears and lips go
blue this is another bad sign you may also have breathing problems if you're
stung by a Hornet and if this happens make sure you see a doctor right away
next up is bedbug I'm sure some of you are watching this in bed well if so then
you need to be very cautious of bedbugs the real name for bedbugs is
mitosis but they're called bedbugs because they're often found in
mattresses they feed on humans blood usually when you're asleep but most
people who are bitten by bedbugs don't even know they have bedbugs
that's because at first sight a bedbug bite can look like the bite of a flea or
mosquito some also mistake them for allergic reactions your skin will get
red swollen and also become quite itchy but there's a way to tell if you're
being bitten by bedbugs the bites will all be very close to each other and
they'll kind of look like little roads on the skin this meaning that they'll
kind of be in a rectangular or curved shape and go down or up bedbug bites can
be very painful much more than a mosquito bones if you think you have
bedbugs the best bed is to clean your bed with a vacuum and if that doesn't
work maybe call a bug removal expert next up is plague you may not have heard
of a clegg before but it's basically a big fat flying Clegg's are also known as
horse flies the nasty thing about horse fly is it can bite humans and it feeds
on their blood they're kind of like the vampires of the insect world unlike a
house fly these are brown instead of black but what do these bites look like
they're actually very easy to spot because at first it will be a 1
millimeter red spot you may not even notice it at first but eventually it
will begin to get very swollen and itchy it can then be very very painful much
more painful than a mosquito bites now the bites themselves aren't that
dangerous after all they're only drinking a tiny amount of your plant but
Clegg's can transmit various different diseases one of these is called
tularemia this can affect your eyes lymph nodes and lungs and it can also
transmit anthrax this can cause pain while swallowing and terrible nausea so
if you get a click bite you may want to go to the doctor next up is tick tick
bites are very very hard to spot because many assume it's an allergic reaction
and not a bite the weird thing about ticks is they actually go into your body
over time they grow bigger and bigger and they drink your blood
in fact ticks can live in a human body for a long time also ticks can infect
people various diseases so what does the text
byte look like well it's basically a large red mark and it's sometimes as
they ring around that mark if you're able to remove a tick from your body but
the red mark doesn't go away and continues to grow you need to see a
doctor right away that's because you could have been infected within TEFL
Isis or Borelli olace next up is louse everyone knows about head lice but did
you know that they can also bite you louse bites are small red dots which
appear in places where your hair grows these can appear on your back fairly
hands or legs the bites are usually a few inches away from each other and the
skin looks like it was pierced maybe with a nail or a pin now you may think
that these are pretty harmless but they are not lies can transmit very serious
diseases like typhoid and trench fever next up is flea many people mistake flea
bites for allergies but the way to spot them is that they will be red and
swollen you'll be able to tell this is not a mosquito bite or an allergic
reaction as it will be very painful also it will itch a lot please usually go for
a person's legs and it happens when they're asleep
also fleas can buy to you many times in similar places the bites are usually
around one inch away from each other and also fleas can transmit infections on to
use so maybe see a doctor if you have a lot of flea bites next up is and so ants
are very annoyed in the summer they may ruin your picnics or go into your
pantries but did you know that ants can also buy to you and I don't just mean
red ants in Indiana Jones I mean typical black ants an ant bite will look like a
very small red dot it's maybe totally painless and it may not even inch on the
other hand red fire ants can cause you a lot of trouble and be a real danger
these bites can look like large white head pimples also red fire ants contain
a lot of toxins which can put you into a shock so make sure you know the
difference between a regular ant bite and a red fire ant fire
next up is mosquito depending on where you live I'm sure that in the summer you
encounter mosquitoes they're incredibly annoying and love to bite humans
mosquito bites will be red and swollen they mostly appear in open areas of your
body where you're not wearing clothes also it will happen where your skin is
very thin as is trying to get to your blood vessels when they bite you they
also inject their saliva into the wound this saliva causes your blood to get
thinner which makes the skin red and itchy better get that mosquito spray out
this summer next up is be one thing many people don't realize about bee stings is
that you need to remove the sting unlike a wasp but bees actually lose their
stinger when it goes into you right after that the bee passes away instantly
once the sting has been removed from your skin it will likely get red and
swollen if you're not allergic then you should be fine but if you are then you
could have breathing problems and should see a doctor and finally on the list we
have wasps wasps are like a bee sting but you won't usually need to remove the
sting from your skin the stung area will become red and also swollen later on you
also may feel a burning and itchy sensation unlike a bee sting wasps can
sting you multiple times but unless you're allergic you should be okay after
a wasp sting but now it's time to make your voice hurt vote in the poll in the
top right corner how many of these insects you've been stung by if it's all
