Any insect bite causes a small allergic reaction with redness, swelling and itching at the site of the bite, however, some people may have a more severe allergic reaction that can cause swelling of the entire affected limb or other body sites. In the vast majority of cases, symptoms can be relieved by passing a pebble of ice on the spot and using an antiallergic ointment, but in some people the allergic reaction may be so severe that it may be necessary to treat corticosteroid-based ointments or even taking epinephrine if the symptoms put your life at risk
