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.
Brown recluse or hobo spider bites cause tissue death at the bite location. Symptoms of a brown recluse bite can include an itchy red wound that has a white ring, bruising, nausea and fever. If left untreated, a brown recluse or hobo spider bite can cause deep tissue injury. Symptoms of a brown recluse or hobo spider bite can take between 10 hours and three days to show themselves.
