Can you explain if it's possible to squeeze or suck the venom out of a bug bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bug Bite Treatment: This is not a practical or wise method. In addition to not providing any benefit, saliva from your or someone else's mouth can cause an infection not related to the bug bite.
