The stock pictures look nothing like my bites. My stings almost look like mosquito bites, just a lot bigger (like a welt), and they feel much different. But the descriptions on most of the reputable sites (healthline.com, webMD, etc.) also mention "red spots that blister on top," "fill with puss," etc. Never happens to me, just the red itchy bumps/welts.
My memory could be playing tricks on me, but I recall someone on this forum saying that DEET counteracts LFA bites if applied right away? Couldn't find any information to support the claim, so wondering if it's true. Anyone try it? Or have a credible link?
