An insect bite refers to a wound caused by the mouth or stinger of an insect. Insect bites and stings can cause allergic reactions that can include redness, swelling, burning, and itching. While some insect bites are more itchy than painful, other insect bites can cause severe, painful allergic reactions and/or death if not treated promptly.
