So how do we distinguish between all these bites?
A venomous snake
As reported: Fakta.today
A non-venomous snake
Bee sting - the stinger remains in the wound.
Remember that when stung by a bee, you must immediately remove it as it continues to inject venom.
A bee sting should not be extracted by squeezing with fingers or tweezers, as it will introduce more venom into the body, but take a plastic card or the blunt side of a knife and slide it over the sting.
Wasps, hornets, and bumblebees do not leave stingers in the wound and can sting again.
The site of a wasp sting becomes swollen, and the sting is accompanied by intense and sharp pain.
If a hornet stings you on the hand, remove the rings immediately, otherwise they will cut into the skin due to swelling.
Horsefly bite
A horsefly bite is very unpleasant and painful.
The affected area usually swells rapidly, turns red, thickens, and may be accompanied by an increase in body temperature.

A tick bite has several stages.
In the first stage, you won't feel anything, but you will only see the parasite that has burrowed into the skin.
In the second stage, redness grows around the bite.
Remember that the tick should not be pulled out, only twisted and also stored and handed over to the laboratory for analysis.
Ant bite
Reactions to ant bites vary and depend on their species.
For example, a cutter ant leaves a small yellow sting in the wound.
Their bites are unusual in that the pain is slow and worsens over the next 6 to 24 hours.
And a bullet ant bite can lead to the formation of a sterile pustule.
Lice
Traces of parasite bites can be seen not only on the head but also on the neck.
