This guide is so bad that I might actually call it harmful
Bee and mosquito bites manifest pretty differently across people, but I can forgive that
Spider bites vary wildly depending on species and depending on your location you should know if venomous spiders are in your area and how deadly they are
That is not what tick bites look like, that’s what Lyme disease looks like. If you see that you should be concerned because you likely have a lifelong affliction. Also, identifying tick bites is stupid, they stay attached to you
The most characteristic part of bed bug bites are a series of bites in a short line/grouping. They stop feeding in response to micro movements and relocate to feed again
Also mosquito bites really might look differently on different people.
My gf has huge red marks with a red halo, while I receive nothing but a tiny red spot

Came here for this.
If your tick bite looks like this you need to see a doctor ASAP. If you get infected with Lyme disease then you want to act fast, otherwise it can become basically untreatable and you'll be stuck with opioids & crippling pain for life.
I am posting this comment before checking myself because I’m worried I’ll forget what I was doing and not make the post.
Isn’t that tick bite indicative of Lyme’s disease? (The bullseye welt.) Most tick bites end up looking like amped up mosquito bites, or a small wasp sting from my personal experience (small/medium welt with puncture in center, inflamed red circle radiating outward, no white ring)
Came to say this same thing.
Also, ticks have 8 legs, not 6 as is shown in the picture (but that’s just nitpicking).
