Insect Bite Reaction

Insect bite reaction.Bites of a flea or mite. Bites of Cheyletiella mites (from dogs or cats) or of bird fleas usually occur as groups of a few itchy red papules, in areas covered by clothes. Insects are not found from the skin. The symptoms require that a person is sensitized to the causative parasite, and hence Cheyletiella of a family dog may cause symptoms only in some family members. The source of the parasite (pets) should be desinfected.
