bite symptoms

Bite symptoms can include pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes bruising around the bitten area. You might experience bleeding if the skin is broken, and in some cases, numbness or tingling. Severe bites, especially from insects like bees or from animals, can cause allergic reactions, swelling beyond the bite site, or signs of infection such as pus or increased warmth. Serious symptoms like difficulty breathing, dizziness, or intense pain require immediate medical attention. Monitoring for these signs helps determine if the bite needs professional care or if simple home treatment is sufficient.
