What Is an Infected Insect Bite?
An insect bite happens when an insect pierces your skin. Most bites are harmless and heal on their own.
Sometimes a bite gets infected. Bacteria enter the wound, usually from scratching. The skin breaks and germs get in.
An infected bite needs treatment. It may not clear up on its own.
Common insects that bite in Manchester:
- Mosquitoes
- Fleas
- Midges
- Wasps and bees
- Ants
