Insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas can spread infections through their bites. They carry viruses, bacteria, or parasites that enter the body when they bite the skin.
Common insect-borne diseases include malaria, Lyme disease, and dengue fever. Symptoms may include fever, rash, swelling, or body aches, depending on the infection.

Some infections can become serious if not treated early. It’s important to pay attention to unusual symptoms after being bitten, especially in areas where insect-borne diseases are common.
To prevent infection, use insect repellent, wear protective clothing, and check for insect bites after outdoor activities. Seek medical help if you feel unwell after a bite.
