Insect bite
How do I know if insect bite is poisonous and needs medical care? I realized there is a insect on my right shoulder few minutes back. So I slapped (it asap it was about start biting or had just started) and it died. I applied suthol lotion after cleaning the area. There is no redness or mark and no pain or irritation.
