We enjoy summer every year. The glorious temperatures, the sun and the cosy evenings in the garden. But what we love less about summer is the invasion of biting insects. Wasps, mosquitoes, hornets and you name it: it bites and sticks and that's very annoying. Usually we automatically assume that every bug bite comes from a mosquito, but this is not always the case. Because every bug bite looks different. 

#1. Mosquito Bump

This is obviously a mosquito bump. This one itches tremendously and you can do some things about this. There are all kinds of mosquito repellents (spray, ointment), which soothe pain and itching. But you can also warm a spoon and hold it against the hump. The itch stops due to the heat. 

#2. Wasp stitch

This is a wasp stitch. This one hurts a lot. Remove the sting immediately when it is still in your skin. After that, you can cool the place to counteract the pain.
