Medication: Most insect bites cause minor irritation such as itching, swelling, tingling and/or numbness. These symptoms could be treated with an antihistamine (benadryl) and Hydrocortisone cream. Poisonous insect (spiders and scorpions) bites cause more severe symptoms and even death. All insect bites could cause a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis in individuals allergic to the particular insect.
