What Insect Bit Me

Keep the site clean and avoid scratching to prevent infection. If you experience respiratory problems, fever or warmth, or if bite has a red streak branching off or it appears out of the ordinary in any way, you should seek immediate medical attention in case of an allergic reaction, especially if you are not sure what bit you. The most dangerous household insects are located in dark, damp areas like under sinks or piles of wood, and are very commonly found in shoes.
