Why start with bite vs not-a-bite?
Many people search for bug bites when the real issue is hives, eczema, fungal rash, or contact dermatitis. Branching early saves anxiety and points you toward the right next step.

When to seek care
Difficulty breathing, lip or tongue swelling, high fever, or rapidly spreading redness need urgent medical attention — regardless of quiz results.
