In recent years, a very common problem encountered in houses in urban areas is bites. Most often, during the night, we receive bites from our "invisible" friends.
Surely, all of us have heard a family member or a friend complain about rashes that cannot explain their appearance. Usually, the blame goes to fleas, bed bugs or mites. But no one can say for sure.
But what we realize is that we now need to use the term rashes and not bites. After all, a bite doesn't always cause a rash just as a rash doesn't always come from a bite.
So a rash is the skin's reaction to the sting. And many times an overreaction brings more rashes than stings.
Do insects have preferences?
How many times have we heard a person complain that insects prefer to bite him rather than the person next to him? Certainly many. In fact, this is not the case. All people get stung. What changes is the individual's sensitivity to the sting which causes the final rash.
Rash recognition
The most suitable person to identify the cause of rashes is the dermatologist. Unfortunately, even he, if he does not know exactly our living conditions, cannot make a safe diagnosis. Especially if all he can see is the final rash.
And if not the dermatologist then who.
The dermatologist's diagnosis (which is always necessary) in conjunction with a more general consideration of the home environment as well as the habits of the family can lead us to a more secure assessment of the "enemy".
This assessment, in turn, helps to choose the right treatment for the person who developed the rashes. At the same time, it also helps us, the Pest Control professionals, to correctly recognize the "invasion" and apply the correct and most effective techniques to deal with it.
