Hello friends, I do not know some of you have heard about the tobacco, it is an insect similar to a great fly. I tell them about why I once suffered a horsefly bite and it is somewhat painful, and I even got a fever.

The sting is very painful, after a bite, a seal is formed, the skin turns red. Blood can leave the wound for a long time without clotting. In this case, a person feels itchy and burning. You should know that if this happens it is normal and the symptoms disappear after a few days.

An allergy to horsefly bites is a rare occurrence. Sensitive people can develop local edema, intense redness and itching, skin rash, poor health, and fever.

Furthermore, a horsefly bite can serve as a mechanical carrier of bloodborne diseases: anthrax, tularemia, filariasis.

To relieve itching and pain, apply an ice cube to the bite site. Rinse the wound with cold water with common soap, it can be used at home. Cauterize the bite site with alcohol, iodine, treat with hydrogen peroxide; any antiseptic will work, this worked for me to relieve myself.
