Insect Bites (Definition) Insect bites are from mosquitos, spiders, flies, ticks, and other species that use their mandibles (jaws) to attach to a person or other animal. They can then suck blood out of their prey and leave saliva proteins that cause itching and swelling.
Cold compresses. Ice packs may help alleviate itching. The ice constricts blood vessels in the area, which blocks blood flow to and from the bite. Whenever you use ice for anything, only keep the ice on for about 15 minutes and don't put ice or bags containing ice directly on the skin.
