I posted this picture a couple of years ago; but with what's going on in the world with COVID-19, because the weather has warmed up and the bugs are out and the fact that you can, for example, get Lyme Disease from a tick bite, I thought it was worth repeating.
If you or a loved one gets a bug bite, check these pictures. Also, if you remove a tick, save it in a small jar. If you develop a "bullseye"-looking bite from the tick, you may have Lyme Disease. Make a doctor's appointment and bring the jar with you.

I am scared of bugs. Their bites can cause no problem to severe issues. It just freaks me out to see a bug anywhere.

@LindaOHio Yes, they do. Even a simple mosquito bite can cause deadly dengue and chicken guinea. They are life-threatening and leave a long-term ill effects on our body.

The people in the photos had strong reactions to each of the bug bite types. I feel sorry for the person with the bed bug bites, they must have had quite an infestation to have that many bites all over their body. And bed bugs are not easy to get rid of either.

@LindaOHio I agree. I'm the same way. I always do a thorough bed bug check whenever I stay at a hotel. If you know what you are looking for, there are signs you can see easily to know if they are there. A former girlfriend of mine had bed bugs courtesy of her sister bringing them home, and it was a nightmare getting rid of them.

No they're not. I get nervous thinking about staying in a motel or hotel. I don't want to take them home with me!

@LindaOHio There are so many this year, I check my legs and arms every time I come back inside from the garden.

@LadyDuck That's good. The mild winters make them more prolific.

@DianneN Little snakies are good for eating bugs and other stuff. They won't hurt you! Maybe. :-)

I sat on one by accident and got stung and then was stung by one. I am not a fan of them but know we need them for honey.

I would hate to get infested with them. It's one reason I don't like staying in hotels/motels.

I would say search on the internet for the best way to get rid of bed bugs. You may need an exterminator. I don't know.
