Millions of insect varieties that live today on Earth play a crucial role in the ecosystem of our planet. Although most of them are safe, some can deliver a lot of trouble, and some can be poisonous and even deadly. From the usual ants and flies to more exotic beetles - we offer you a list of 25 of the most dangerous insects in the world.
Sponsor of post:. All series!
1. Termites
Terms are not direct danger to humans, play an important role for the environment, moreover, in some cultures they are even eaten. But at the same time, the kids-termites can cause enormous damage to the infrastructure, sometimes making houses completely unsuitable for housing.
2. Vershi.
3. Black-legged mite
Each year, a black-legged tick infects thousands of people in Lyme's disease, which begins with a rash around a bite resembling a bull's eye. Early symptoms of this disease include headache and fever. With the further development of the illness, the victim begins to suffer from problems with the cardiovascular system. Few dies from these bites, but the consequences may continue for many years after the unpleasant meeting with the tick.
4. Nomadic ants
The first creation in our list, which is dangerous in the literal significance of this word, is stray ants, known for their predatory aggression. Unlike other types of ants, stray does not build their own permanent antics. Instead, they create colonies that migrate from one place to another. These predators are constantly moving during the day, hunting insects and small vertebrates. In fact, the entire combined colony can kill more than half a million insects and small animals in one day.
5. OSA
Most OS does not carry a special direct danger, but their defined varieties, such as the German OSA of North America, reach large sizes and may be incredibly aggressive. If they feel the danger or will notice the invasion of their territory, they can sting repeatedly and very painful. They will marry their aggressors and in some cases haunt them.
6. Black widow
Although the sting of the female of the Black Widow spider can be very dangerous for a person because of the bite of neurotoxins, if we provide the necessary medical care on time, then the consequences of the bite will be limited only to some pain. Unfortunately, single cases of death from the bite of black widows were still met.
7. Hairy caterpillar moth-coat
Megalopyge Opercularis Miracle Caterpillars look cute and fluffy, but do not be deceived by their cartoon appearance: they are extremely poisonous.
Usually people believe that the hairs themselves are the hairs, but in reality the poison is distinguished through the spikes hidden in this "wool." The spikes are extremely breaking and remain in the skin after touching. The poison causes burning around around the affected place, headache, dizziness, vomiting, sharp abdominal pain, lesion of lymph nodes and sometimes stop breathing.
8. Cockroaches
The cockroach is known as the carrier of many diseases dangerous for a person. The main risk of living together with cockroaches is that they are closed in toilet bowls, trash cans and other places of accumulation of bacteria, as a result, are their carriers. Cockroaches may cause many diseases: from worms and dysentery to tuberculosis and typhoid. Cockroaches can carry fungi, single-celled organisms, bacteria and viruses. And here is a fun fact - they can live for many months without food and water.
10. Bedding claps
A person does not feel directly the bite itself, since the composition of the saliva culopa includes anesthetic substance. If the bug from the first time could not get to the bloodstabyard, he can bite a person several times. At the site of the bite of a cloud begins a strong itching, and a blister may appear. Occasionally people face a strongly pronounced allergic reaction to the bite of a bite. Fortunately, 70 percent of people do not feel almost no consequences from them.
The bugs are household insects and do not belong to the group of infectious diseases, but in their body they can continue to retain pathogens transmitting infections through blood, for example, viral hepatitis B can also be maintained by plague, tularemia, q-fever. The greatest harm to people they deliver their bite, taking a normal rest and a dream with a person, which may later have a negative impact on moral health and efficiency.
11. Human hedge
12. Sorryokozha
Coleoptrata (Scutigera ColeOptrata) is an insect, which is also called the mukholovka, appeared allegedly in the Mediterranean. Although other sources talk about Mexico. Sorry-glassware has become very common worldwide. Although the type of such insects and unattractive, they generally fulfill useful work, as they eat other pest insects and even spiders. True, with entomophobia (fear of insects) such an argument will not help. Usually people kill them due to an unpleasant appearance, although in some southern countries there are even hundred-and-buttons guarded.
Mukholovka is a predator, they injected the victim of poison and then kill her. Often, the flies will fall in apartments, without applying harm to food or furniture. They adore moisture, often forty-skinned can be found in basements, under the baths, in the toilets. Mukholovka live from 3 to 7 years old, newborns have only 4 pairs of legs, increasing them on one with each new mol.
Usually the bite of such an insect is not alarming for a person, although it can be comparable to a small bee bite. For some it may even be painful, but usually it is limited to tears. Of course, there are no insects that are responsible for thousands of deaths, but many of us will be surprised, learning that someone dies every year from these bites. The fact is that an allergic reaction to the insect poison is possible, but it still happens extremely rarely.
Let the scorpions do not belong to the insects, since they belong to the detachment of arthropods from the class of spider-shaped, but we still made them to this list, especially since black scorpions are the most dangerous types of scorpions. Most of them live in South Africa, especially they can be found in desert areas. Black scorpions differ from other species with their thick tails and thin paws. Black scorpions are stupid, injected by their victim poison, which can cause pain, cause paralysis and even death of a person.
Paraponera Clavata is the view of large tropical ants from Paraponera Smith and Paraponerinae's subfamily (Formicidae) with strong sting. This ant bullet is named for the reason that the victims of the bitter compare it with a shot of a gun.
A man who bited by such an ant may feel the pulsation and tireless pain within the day after the bite. Some local Indian tribes (SATERE-MAWE, MAUE, Brazil) are used in very painful rites of the initiation of boys to adulthood (which leads to temporary paralysis and even the blades of the exposed fingers). In the course of studying the chemical composition of the poison, paralyzing neurotoxin (peptide) was isolated, named powderoxin.
Also known as Phoneutria, Brazilian wandering spiders are poisonous creatures that live in tropical South America and Central America. In the Guinness Book of Records 2010, this type of spider was called the most poisonous spider of the world.
The poison of spiders of this kind contains powerful neurotoxin, known as phtx3. In the mortal concentration, this neurotoxin causes loss of muscle control and breathing problems, which leads to paralysis and ultimately suffocation. The bite of medium pain, the poison causes instigative infection of the lymphatic system, entering the circulatory in 85% of cases leads to heart failure. Patients feel wild oxidation during life, men sometimes arise priapism. There is an antidote, on a par used with antibiotics, but due to the seriousness of harm, the organism is actually equal to the chance of survival of the victim.
African bees (also known as killer bees) - descendants of bees brought from Africa to Brazil in the 1950s when trying to improve the production of honey in this country. Some African uterus began to cross the local European bees. The resulting hybrids moved to the north and still found in southern California.
African bees look as well and in most cases behave like European bees, which are currently living in the United States. You can detect them only by analyzing DNA. Their sting also do not differ from the rustled bee. One very important difference between two varieties is the protective behavior of African bees, which manifests itself when protecting their nests. In some attacks in South America, African bees killed cattle and people. This behavior of the AMP earned the nickname "Bee-killer".
In addition, this type of bee is known for behaving like an invader. Their swarms attack the hives of an ordinary honey bee, invading them and establishing their queen. They attack large colonies and are ready to destroy anyone who will encroacitate their uterus.
Despite the fact that Blok is usually not perceived as dangerous, fleas transmit numerous diseases between animals and people. Throughout history, they contributed to the spread of many diseases, such as bubonic plague.
Fire ants (Eng. Fire Ant) - several related ants from a group of types of Solenopsis Saevissima Species-Group kind of Solenopsis, possessing a strong stale and poison, whose action is similar to the flame burn (from here and their name). More often under this title appears the invasive red fire ants spread throughout the world. There are cases of human population by one ant with severe consequences, anaphylactic shock, up to death.
The second spider on our list, brown washer, does not produce neurotoxins like a black widow. His bite destroys the fabric and can cause damage, for the healing of which months will go.
The bite very often remains unnoticed, but in most cases the sensations are similar to the sensations when the needle is checked. Then within 2-8 hours, the pain makes itself felt. Further, the situation is developing depending on the number of poison in the blood. The poison of the brown spider-hermit of hemolytic action, and therefore causes necrosis and tissue destruction. Bite for young children, older and sick people can be fatal.
SIAFU (DORYLUS) - These nomades are mainly living in Eastern and Central Africa, but also found in tropical Asia. Insects live in colonies that can have up to 20 million individuals, all of them are blind. Traveling their own, they are performed using Pheromones. The colony does not have a permanent place of residence, nomadic from place to place. During the movement for the proceedings of larvae insects attack all invertebrate animals.
Among these ants have a special group - soldiers. They can stuff, for which they use their hooked jaws, and the size of such individuals reaches 13 mm. The jaws of the soldiers are so strong that in some places in Africa they are even used to secure seams. The wound may be closed for as many as 4 days. Usually after SIAFU bite the consequences are minimal, it is not necessary to even cause a doctor. True, it is believed that young and older people are particularly sensitive to the bites of such ants, deaths were observed from complications after contact. As a result, annually, according to statistics, from 20 to 50 people die of these insects. This contributes to their aggressiveness, especially when the protection of their colony, which a person may accidentally attack.
Many of us saw bumblebees - they seem rather small, and there are no special reasons to be afraid of them. And now imagine a bumblebee, which grew as if on steroids, or just look at the Asian giant. These horns are the largest in the world - their length can reach 5 cm, and the scope of the wings - 7.5 centimeters. The length of the sting in such insects can be up to 6 mm, but with such a bite, neither bee, nor an axle, bumblebee can be stolen repeatedly. There are no such dangerous insects in Europe or the United States, but traveling through East Asia and the mountains of Japan, you can meet with them. To understand the consequences of the bite, just listen to eyewitnesses. They compare the sensations from the bumblebee sting with a hot nail, vanned to the leg.
The poison of sting has 8 different compounds that cause discomfort, damaging soft tissues and creating a smell that can attract new bumblebees to the victim. People who are allergic to bees can die from the reaction, but there are cases of deaths because of the Mandoshoxin poison, which may be dangerous, hitting enough deep into the body. It is believed that about 70 people die from such bites every year. Curious, but the sting is not the main tool of the hunt of the bumblebees - they will crush their enemies with large jaws.
Muha Tsets dwells in tropical and subtropical Africa, in love with the desert Kalahari and Sakhara. Flies are carriers of trypanosomoses, which lead to a disease of animals and a person sleepy disease. Cetz is anatomically very similar to its usual relatives - they can be distinguished by a trunk on the front of the head and a special manner of the addition of wings. It is the proboscis and allows mining the main food - the blood of wild mammals of Africa. On this mainland, there are 21 types of flirts that can be in length from 9 to 14 mm.
You should not consider flies so harmless to humans, because they really kill people, making it quite often. It is believed that in Africa to 500 thousand people are infected with a sleepy disease that is transferred to exactly these insects. The disease violates the activities of the endocrine and the heart system. Then the nervous system is affected, causing confusion in consciousness and breaking sleep. Attacks of fatigue are replaced by hyperactivity.
The last major epidemic was recorded in Uganda in 2008, in general, the disease belongs to the list of forgotten in WHO. However, in one Uganda over the past 6 years, 200 thousand people died from a sleepy disease. It is believed that this disease is largely guilty of worsening the economic situation in Africa. It is curious that flies attack any warm object, even a car, but Zebra is not attacked by, considering it only flashed stripes. Tsetse Flys also rescued Africa from soil erosion and overwhelmed cattle.
A person came up with different methods of combating these insects. In the 1930s, on the west coast, they destroyed all wild pigs, but it gave the result only for 20 years. Now they are fighting by shooting wild animals, cutting the shrubs and the treatment of males flies with radiation in order to deprive them of the opportunity to multiply.
In the spring and summer period is activated by the life of insects. In most cases, their coexistence with a person is not considered to be something bad. However, it is worth distinguish between absolutely harmless individuals and those who can carry a danger to human health. To date, science is aware of the existence of more than 5 million types of insects. The most common on the globe at the same time are crucial and scratched, which include beetles and butterflies, as well as refamming - ants, wasps, mosquitoes and bees. It is insects from the detachment of the refluenced, most often become the perpetrators of the appearance of tumors, redness and edema on the human body, which are a consequence of their bite.
Are insect bites dangerous?
Many are confident that the only thing that the injury of the insect bite can be remembered is a tumor. However, the realities speak at all about the other: mortality from the bites of floppywalls is more than 3 times higher than the death rate from the bites of poisonous snakes. The reason for such indicators is that 80% of the population of the Earth takes place allergies to proteins that fall into the human body along with saliva or poison of the web.
What else can insect bites can be dangerous? Firstly, these creatures are often carriers of various microorganisms, which can cause severely severe diseases from a busted person, such as a raw tit, fever of Western Nile and Leishmaniosis, sleepy disease and dysentery, Lyme and Encephalitis disease. This is far from a complete list of diseases, which can be transmitted by blood-sucking insects to which fleas, lice, mosquitoes and mosquitoes.
Signs of complications
The natural reaction of the human body on the bite of the insect - tumor and redness of the skin. Approximately 80% of busting people feel itching, burning or even pain in the place of penetration of poison or saliva into the body. In 45% of cases, allergies to insect bites can develop, which manifests itself with the following symptoms:
- redness and itching of the skin away from the place of bite;
- rashes on the body, urticaria;
- dizziness;
- confusion of consciousness;
- difficulty breathing;
- soft tissue of the nasal cavity, pharynx and mouth;
- loss of consciousness;
- feverish states;
- an increase in body temperature to subfebrisy indicators;
- pain or squeezing in the chest.
The emergence of any of the above symptoms should be a signal to immediate appeal to ambulance medical care, because, with further exacerbation of symptomatic manifestations of an allergic reaction, an anaphylactic shock may occur.
In addition, the usual at first glance, the tumor after the bite of insects can grow into purulent inflammation of the subcutaneous fatty fiber, to prevent which it suffices to handle the wound to the disinfectant.
Than treat insect bites
At home there are several sufficient effective ways and means to quickly and effectively remove the tumor from the insect bite. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to clean the surface of the skin around the wrecks with the help of ordinary soap and warm water. This will eliminate the remaining on the body or inside the chitin particles of the insect itself, as well as the remains of the saliva or poison injected them. Remember: Never leave the place of bite, even if it is unbearable!
With such a phenomenon, as insect bites, treatment is to eliminate painful symptoms: itching, burning and tumors. This can be done with the use of external medicines, with the help of oral administration of drugs and folk methods. Consider every methodology in more detail.
External means from insect bites
With a minor edema and weak redness, it is enough to attach a piece of ice to the place of bite, and in other cases it is necessary to use ointments, creams or gels after insect bites. Before choosing a definite dosage form, it is necessary to understand what they differ from each other. In almost all antihistamine or anti-inflammatory ointments, which are used to eliminate symptoms after insect bite, include the same active substances. The difference consists only of how quickly absorbed the means into the skin. The slower the ointment is absorbed, a little faster - cream, and the gels are absorbed literally in a couple of minutes.
With the average degree of hyperemia and waste, the antihistamines, which are released without a doctor's prescription should be used. With their help, you can quickly get rid of the specified symptoms. Antihistamine ointment from insect bites should be applied directly to the wreck. A somewhat different things are dealing with ointments and gels from itching, which includes Menthol. They must be applied only on the skin around the wound. Such funds are not treated insect bite, tumor and itching, they only have a distracting effect.
The following external drugs are considered the most popular:
- gel "Phenic";
- gel "Ppi-Balsam";
- cream or Ointment "Bepanten";
- cream or ointment "Afloderm";
- lotion "Kalamin";
- cream "Eliode".
Insect bites. Treatment with tablets
Not always gels and ointments may have sufficient efficiency. If there are multiple insect bites on the body, the treatment of outer drugs can be supplemented by the reception of oral medicines, which include steroid preparations "Dimedrol", "Benadryl" and others. In addition, when inflammation of bites, antimicrobial pills must be used. Acute reactions involve the use of epinephrine epinephrine injections.
People's methods for treating insect bites
Allergies to insect bites, in addition to the use of pharmacy preparations, can be eliminated by folk remedies. The most famous and effective plants that will help remove the tumor, itching and inflammation, the plantain, elderberry, dandelion, Veronica Drugs and many others are considered. In addition, in the past two decades to eliminate the symptoms of allergies to the blade bites, it often began to use products related to food: soda and acetic acid.
Use folk remedies should be carefully, since many of them themselves are allergens that may worsen the condition of the already amazed skin. In order to protect the victims of complications, providing assistance in the bite insects by folk methods, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the recipes for the preparation of healing compositions and the rules of their use.
We treat garlic
Garlic is one of the most affordable tools for eliminating redness and edema, which have become the result of damage to the skin with tiny jaws or stals of the winged inhabitants of nature. The first than the insect bite is distinguished - the tumor (photo above). It is possible to get rid of it with the help of water informous garlic. For its preparation, it is necessary to grind on a fine grater or skip a pair of garlic heads and pour the resulting mass of a glass of boiled cold water. Infusion wet a sterile bandage or a piece of fabric and applied to the place of bite. This tool will benefit when treating the bite of bloodsowing insects: mosquitoes, blind and midges.
In addition to infusion, it is possible to use Cashitz from one clove of garlic, applying it on a bandage to the skin. This agent is more efficient in the ublasting insects - OS and bees. When the suppuration appears in the wound, you can mix the mass of garlic with honey in equal proportions. It is necessary to recall that this method requires careful use to people with increased skin sensitivity, as garlic juice can cause serious burns.
Cabbage as a remedy for insect bites
Cabbage leaves are considered the most efficient means to reduce the tumor from insect bite in the people. Apply them as follows: take a thin part of the sheet and lowered hot water for a few seconds to soften it a little. After that, it is applied to a section of the skin, subjected to the effects of insects, are covered with a film from above and fastened with a cloth. This compress will allow only one night to get rid of a strong tumor and pain from the bitter insect bite.
The cabbage ointment of insect bites with suppuration has a good effect. For its preparation, a quarter of a cabbage (fresh), a beam of parsley and about 50 g of pork interior fat. Cabbage should be crushed to the state of mashed potatoes, parsley greenery chop and squeeze juice out of it. Mix the resulting ingredients with fat, mix well. Store this tool is better in the refrigerator. Apply the ointment is needed twice a day on the bite of the insect, the tumor will decline in about a day, and itching or pain will be held even faster.
Soda and vinegar
The bits of blood-sucking insects that are worried with a strong itching, you can cure pasta from food soda. In order to prepare therapeutic agent, it is necessary to dissolve the soda with a small amount of water so that it turns out to be a sufficiently thick mass, from which you can form a loose. The paste is imposed directly to the disturbing bite of the insect, fixing it with a piece of bandage and a medical plaster. In addition, water wash with soda (1 tsp for a glass of water). This method is more suitable for cases when the bites are multiple, and there is no possibility to apply a paste from soda to a large surface of the skin.
Used as a medicinal exterior and table 3% vinegar, better apple. The bandage moistened to them or clean tissue is applied to redness and tumors resulting from the bite of bloodsowing insects, for 20-30 minutes. During the application of this means, it is necessary to ensure that the vinegar does not fall into the calculations, as this can cause a burn. Also unacceptably use undiluted vinegar or essence.
Spices
If an insect bite appeared on the body, the tumor can be removed with the help of spicy herbs that will have any mistress. Most often for these purposes use basil and mint. Broth of Basilica (2 art. L. Dried herbs boil 5 minutes in 0.5 liters of water, cool) Drink 1/2 cup 3 times a day with a strong itch, which often threatens strong calculations. Mint is used both in a fresh form, catching the juice of the crushed leaves on the busted place, and in the form of the suppress: tightly tie into the gauze a large pinch of fresh herbs and lowered in boiling water for 5 minutes, after which they are taken out and get cold. Apply a gauze bag with mint to the bitter should be at least 3 times a day for 20-30 minutes. The decoction of this grass can be used for skin wiping to reduce itching and edema.
Soap and other hygiene
Often, such means as the economic dark soap and toothpaste are used as a healing agent for eliminating itching, redness and tumors. To reduce the tumor, it is enough twice a day dense the amazed areas of the skin, and with a strong itching, folk healers are recommended to apply a small amount of mint toothpaste to bite.
In conclusion, I would like to remind the fact that insect bites that cause strong discomfort (pain, itching, tumor or suppuration), it is necessary to show a doctor, since these symptoms may indicate allergies or infection of the wound.
The insect class is considered one of the most numerous on the planet. From such a neighborhood, a person just has nowhere to go. There are also such insects who hurt and bite a person, after which negative reactions to bites are developing. Some of them can infect a person dangerous ailments, and some of them bites can be fatal.
Often, people do not know what the insect bitten and how dangerous, as well as how to treat the wound to remove pain and reduce the risk of infection, and also protect themselves from allergic reactions.
When I detects the house of fleas, bedbugs or OS nests, it is necessary to immediately take measures to destroy them. This can be done independently, as well as with the help of special services. After that, you need to think about how to secure the dwelling from the re-invasion of insects. For this, plants are suitable with a bright aroma that can scare insects.

Generally speaking, insect bites in their manifestations have a lot in common with various skin diseases, damage and allergic reactions: some of them can be easily confused, for example, with burns from nettle or Borshevik, while others are taken for characteristic symptoms of allergic dermatitis.
Below in the photo shows the bites of typical bloodsowing insects. Mosquitoes:
Fresh traces on the skin after the "feast" bed bugs:
And in this photo - the effects of burn nettle:
Nevertheless, insect bites can still be distinguished from skin damage of another character - even if they are sufficiently similar. There are some signs and symptoms indicating precisely on the consequences of insect attacks:
Unfortunately, in practice, it does not always happen to simply distinguish an allergic reaction or skin diseases from certain insect bites. Moreover, some dermatitis themselves may be a consequence of regular or numerous bows, therefore, in cases of serious doubts and concerns, it is still better to consult a doctor.
Insect bites can be both practically harmless and passing literally in a few hours and extremely dangerous to lead to extensive hemorrhages, edema and even anaphylactic shock with probable fatal outcome. Again, there are no single frames here: for example, quite harmless to adult people, mosquito bites can turn into children a strong allergic reaction, high temperature and in general by a heavy state.
Different types of insect bites can be divided into several external signs and gravity groups of the consequences and complications.
The first group includes light, unobthewable, practically not disturbing bites. They are left, for example, single minor midges or red forest ants. The person of the consequences of such attacks may not be noticed at all - only small redness or just points remain on his skin after them.

The second group combines also relatively lungs, but more pronounced and, as a rule, numerous insect bites: for example, mosquitoes, bugs, fleas and lice. An attack of one such offender often does not attract a little and big attention, but these insects "take" precisely with massibility - and this is already threatened with a strong itching, allergies, and sometimes fever (for example, in children). The victim usually gives a very colorful description of their sensations, precisely because of the large area of \u200b\u200bthe bodied body surface.
Those in the summer we went to the pond to rest, so it was some nightmare, in the evening all the bitted walked. Komarnos - not merryano! Sasha's face has a swollen, the temperature rose, nausea. Then another week walked all the spots ...

On a note:
It is interesting to note that when bed bugs are breeding in the house (and this is not uncommon and in our 21st century), then many people do not believe in the presence of insects in the house, wringing redness, and especially in children, on an allergic reaction. It is sinning for anything - on washing powder, irritation from clothes, on allergies from fruits, from coffee, etc. While one day they do not find in their bed or bed of a baby clus ...
The third group consists of bites causing a pronounced local reaction in the form of severe pain, tumors and redness, with the possible development of serious edema and allergic reactions, up to an anaphylactic shock. This includes the bites of OS, Sherne, bees, some tropical ants, certain types of riders, largecloth and others.
Such bites (especially in children) require the most close attention, because in some cases they can threaten the life of a person. Even a single horshum bite is often fatal.

Slept at the time of bite:
In addition to the above-mentioned insects, there are also other arthropods whose bits within the framework of the classification should be attributed to individual groups. For example, it is possible to highlight ticks that are carriers of severe human diseases, as well as poisonous spiders, scrolopieldr, scorpions that also represent a serious danger.
It should be borne in mind that even if the insect bite itself does not cause catastrophic consequences, in some cases, the pathogens of deadly infections can be entered into blood.
At the same time, there is an interesting dependence: the most painful and pronounced bites almost never lead to infection by anything, and vice versa - those types of bites that are less attention to themselves are sometimes especially dangerous. As an example, it is possible to bring ticks, whose bites are dangerous by the transfer of encephalitis and borroeliosis, malaria mosquitoes, as well as fleas capable of spreading a variety of diseases, of which plague, encephalitis and Siberian ulcers are most famous.
On a note
But stinging insects - wasps, bees, Horshi - bite only in exceptional cases, defending it or protecting their nest. Therefore, bacteria and viruses (even if they infected such an insect) would not have a big chance of passing to a person or an animal.
For example, below are several photos showing what looks like at the time of the bite:
A characteristic feature of bed bug bites is to build them in long chains (tracks). So, it is for bugs that are characterized by bites in three points located in one short line (it helps to determine which insect bitten at night: Komar or Corn).
Bloom bites also have a specific appearance (see photo example):
Footprints from Bloch bites usually have a well-visible single red specks in the center. It is explained by the fact that when flea bites, she has to immerse almost all his head into the skin:
As a rule, traces from the attack of these insects are noticeably less than after the bite bits. "Tracks" from red dots on the body may also be present, but very short, usually not more than 2-3 points.
Another example of biting insects, which can only be called homemade, are lice. Head and pubic lice never leave the "tracks" of bites and attack only the hairpores of the body (sometimes even eyelashes and eyebrows), because for life and reproduction they need to fix their shorts on the sacrifices:
However, speaking about these well-known insects, you can not forget about more rare, but still found in the civilized world of wrain (linen) in the civilized world. During the evolution, they adapted to bite a person for any sections of the body and not depend on its hair.
The characteristic difference between lice bites - bluish stains on constantly exposed places and corrosions from breaks. In the photo - traces from the bites of these insects:
As mentioned above, single insect bites are generally not very concerned, however, for example, regular attacks of bed bugs may even cause nervous disorders, insomnia or anemia in children.
In photographs you can see the bites of these insects:
What did the bites of bees, OS, Sherne, Poisonous Ant and Other Thaying Insects look like
In the Yadea OS, bees, some stuffing ants and their relatives contain a large amount of allergens, which can lead to the development of extensive edema, urticarization, an increase in body temperature and general intoxication of the body. In some cases, such bites lead to the death of the victim, especially if insects attack all ROOM.

Photography Ant-bullet - his bites are so strong that they are considered to be considered the degree of painfulness among the strongest among insects in general:
On a note
The bitrates of giant Asian coarse in some countries lead to more deaths than attacks of any wild animals (an example - Japan, where about 40 people die from the attack for a year).
If you didn't have time to notice and recognize how insect you were bitten, then the first aid should be able to be universal in such cases with an emphasis on preventing the development of a severe allergic reaction:
- visually assess the presence of sting in the rink, and if it is, then remove it;
- suck the poison from the wound (not spending more than 1 minute for it);
- disinfection the affected area of \u200b\u200bhydrogen peroxide, iodine or greenflower;
- attach to the place of bite cold compress;
- take an antihistamine (Supratin, Dimedrol - but only in the absence of contraindications, with a list of which you can find in the instructions for the corresponding drug).
"This summer could not stand it and caused specialists to dealt with an aspen nest. For two years, these wasps were having a barrel. At first they tried to get rid of themselves, smoked, but after the granddaughter had bitten, did not save. The child is all the whole, I had to immediately call, everything was frightened. Two bite in the face, one on the clavicle, was afraid that the swelling on the lungs would go, the temperature was very rising. It is good that everything happened, but we still got rid of the OS, at the same time and the ants were erupted. "

Bitches of spiders, ticks, chopped and others "not insects"
In the daily life of ticks, spiders and choppeddr often referred to insects, although these creatures are not at all (insects only 3 pairs of legs).
On the photo below, these "rings" are clearly visible:
In the case of the tick bite, immediately appeal to infectious doctors and pass the necessary tests to exclude encephalitis and borreliosis (it is desirable to bring the mites that bite you). If this is impossible, then it is necessary to closely closely monitor its condition and "listen" to the body: the slightest indisposition may indicate a developing disease.
Often, ticks may not apply tangible harm, but the bites of poisonous choppeders are almost always very dangerous. So, the attack of the Crimean scrolls, or busty, ends, as a rule, extensive swelling, an increase in body temperature to 39 ° C, hemorrhages and painful inflammation. Pain from her bite is preserved for several days.
Unfortunately, even this difficult condition is not the worst thing that can happen after the attack of the scoleponders: the tropical species of these arthropods are fatally dangerous for a person.
In the photo - Crimean Skolendra:
The bite of the "insect" in this case consists of two points - it is that ways usually describe the affected results of the attack of the scolenders. Externally, this, indeed, looks precisely as two characteristic points, because the articipal punctures the skin with two jaws.
Another "not insects", leaving on the human body, essential traces are leeches. Their attacks are notable for the fact that the resulting wound has been bleeding for a very long time, and this person loses much more blood than from sucking the leech itself.
In the photo - leech bites:
Some spiders are pretty painful. Among them are many species whose bite is deadly for a person - for example, Karakurt, or, otherwise, a steppe widow:
The most pronounced are the consequences of the bites of Karakurts in May-June, when spiders take place the marriage season, and it is in large females. Nevertheless, it is believed that the death threat of these spiders represent only for children and the elderly.
On a note
The males of all types of Karakurts are much smaller than the females, and they rarely bite.
Tarantula is also a well-known poisonous spider, although he is in most cases and does not represent a serious danger to a person. However, his bite is very painful, and both sensations and consequences resemble a bee bite.
Below is a photo of Tarantula bite:
It is interesting
"Lucky", who experienced the bites of different spiders, say that the more dangerous spider, the less painful his bite. For example, when walking through a rigid and barbed grass, a person may not even notice the bite of the Karakurt, while Tarantula bite immediately causes severe pain. But after half an hour, the situation changes: Tarantula bite can cease to hurt, and from the bite of steppe widow a person can lose consciousness.
Scorpio-dwelling in our country are also dangerous to humans. Their bite is very painful, can lead to anaphylaxis and death.

The specificity of insect bites in children
Often, children react to insect bites more acutely than adults, because their body has not yet been "matured", and immunity is not enough. On their skin, symptoms of bites can manifest themselves more clearly, and blisters and edema hold longer.
In the photo - traces of bites in a child left by living in the apartment clouds:
On the other hand, in children, severe allergic reactions to insect bites occur due to the lack of previous sensitization - a certain "experience" accumulated by the body, which is necessary for a stormy immune response.
Speaking about the specifics of insect bites in children, it is impossible not to say about the rules of treating kids: it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the children's body and use only those drugs that are allowed for applications in children. Unfortunately, many adults forget about it and give kids to the drugs even more exacerbating and complicating the already difficult consequences of a meeting with insects.
If insects bit her pet
Insect bites in dogs, cats and other pets are often less noticeable than on a person, due to thick woolen or feathers. Animals may not even especially express their "feelings", and suffer silently, but this does not mean that insect attacks can be completely ignored.
Dogs most often draw attention to the bites of ticks, which are left in the area of \u200b\u200bthe ears and the nape large solid cones. A dog's encephalit cannot be infected, but for them ticks are dangerous to the transfer of other serious diseases. For example, ticks are transferred to piroplasmosis, from which the animal may die even during the first day.
Several less often animals are attacked by stagnant insects. The consequences of these bites are generally similar to those in humans. The photo shows how the paw swollen at the cat from the bite of the wasp:

Poultry - especially chickens - often biting bed bugs that are in household buildings. In case of mass reproduction, insects can lead to the loss of egg production of birds, slowdown the growth of chickens and their zamor.
And the following photos show examples when birds are overwhelmed by the so-called chicken fleas:
A similar situation can be observed in other business animals and birds - rabbits, ducks, pigeons. The latter, by the way, is often disturbing bird roosters carrying some fatal diseases for these birds.
And finally, we will touch on one important topic that exciting many tourists - insect bites in Thailand, India, Vietnam and the Caribbean countries. These resorts enjoy great popularity among Russians, but many frighten the stories about the "monstrous" insects living in those places.
Photo of sand flea under the skin and after extracting:
Tropical scrolls are also fairly common local "residents" - are considered one of the most dangerous insects in the world, and South American ants are owners of the most painful bite among insects at all.
Nevertheless, this does not mean that it is impossible to relax in the tropics, and that it is not worth riding there. You just need to know which insects are biting a person in a particular country and a particular place, as well as to have a specially prepared aid kit and be neat in communication with an unknown nature.
And yet: you do not need to be shy to go with insect bites in the hospital - in any country, this step is often saves many lives.
