What are the differences between mosquito and flea bites?

The existence of mosquitoes in life is a problem that people cannot solve. There are a large number of mosquitoes in the environment where most people live, which threaten people's health at all times. Among them, summer and autumn are the seasons when mosquitoes reproduce in large numbers, which can have a great impact on people's lives. For example, mosquitoes and fleas are very common insects in life, and they are both bloodthirsty. Let’s take a look at the differences between mosquito and flea bites?

Mosquitoes usually bite exposed skin. Sucking points can be found in the center of the mosquito bite lesion, which are dark red bruises the size of a needle tip, scattered in numbers or in groups. Human fleas like to "bite" and suck blood at the waistband of human pants, sock cuffs and the edges of women's bras.

The reaction after a flea bite varies from person to person. Some may not have any reaction after being bitten, while others may develop erythema, papules, and wheals. The local skin may become red, swollen, and itchy. A needle-sized purple-red spot may be seen in the center of the lesion, which is the mark of the bite. Some may develop blisters on the red and swollen surface. The rash often occurs on the waist, abdomen, calves, etc., and is arranged in lines or in groups. The symptoms of damage in children are often more obvious, showing the manifestation of papular urticaria, and the child feels extremely itchy. Scratching often causes scratches, blood scabs or secondary infections.

People are bitten by fleas

1. First, dark red macules of varying sizes appear at the bitten site, protruding from the skin. For people with skin allergies, the macules will be larger in area, with obvious red dots and marks of flea bites in the center. The itching is unbearable and lasts for several days.

2. Secondly, fleas do not only bite one place. If there are two or three bite marks on the skin, and the rash is arranged in a straight line and a triangle, it is the work of fleas.

The difference between flea bites and mite bites

3. Fleas are usually not numerous or dense, and flea bites are very easy to go away. It is also easy to find fleas on the body.

4. There is another characteristic of flea bites. Since fleas can only jump a dozen centimeters high, the parts of the human body that are usually bitten are around the calf socks.
