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.
Apply heat to the bite. If cold does not work to reduce the itching, try using heat. Heat can break down some of the chemicals in the bite that cause the itch, giving you relief. Heat a spoon in boiling water. Hold it with a potholder so that you don't burn your hand.
