What are the most dangerous and common insect bites for children? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your children play around bugs constantly, but it can be scary to see a bug bite on them and not know what type of bug it was or if it was a dangerous bug.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most bug bites do not pose a serious threat, but there are a few you should be aware of. As a result, we’re providing you with a guide on the most dangerous and common types of bug bites. You’ll also learn the signs for these bites and what you can do for relief in mild bug bite cases.

What are the Most Dangerous Bug Bites for Children? <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The worse bug bites for children are usually from ones that are venomous or bugs that inject harmful diseases or bacterium as well as stings from bees, wasps, and other venomous creatures. That said, your child could be allergic to certain bugs, which can be very dangerous.

Harmless Bites, Dangerous Bites, and Stings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s a difference between harmless bug bites, venomous bug bites, and stings from insects. Most bug bites won’t cause serious issues. A few species can inject venom, parasites, or diseases when they bite you. Also, your child could be allergic to the bug and this will cause anywhere from a mild to a severe reaction. Stings, on the other hand, can have severe side effects and cause anaphylaxis shock if your child is allergic to the insect.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of bugs that bite such as mosquitos, ticks, fleas, kissing bugs, bed bugs<\/a>, flies, or beetles do not inject venom into the victim. A few bugs can inject your child with a parasite. For instance, the kissing bug bites around the mouth and eyes while you’re asleep, and it may inject its victim with Trypanosoma Cruzi <\/em>a parasite that can be life-threatening. Ticks can also leave behind a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi and it causes Lyme disease. We discuss the signs and symptoms for bug bites later in this article and what you should do if you suspect your child has been bitten.

Bugs that do inject venom when they bite are ants and spiders<\/a>. These kinds of bites can be extremely dangerous<\/a> for your child or anyone else. Many children are allergic to ant bites, and some spiders such as the Brown Recluse or Black Widow can be fatal if the victim is not treated soon.

While many people think of bees, wasps, and hornets, and yellow jackets bite, they actually sting and bite sometimes. The bite can be painful but is usually harmless. A sting, on the other hand, may cause an allergic reaction, which could be severe and even fatal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve discussed quite a few bugs, such as bees, ants, spiders, and so forth, but these aren’t necessarily the most common bug bites that child may experience. Children play in around your home with little regard to their surroundings which makes them vulnerable to certain bugs more than other types of bugs.
