Frequently Asked Questions
Does a high pain rating mean I need a doctor?
Not always. Pain scale is about sting intensity. Breathing difficulty, facial swelling, or spreading hives need urgent care.
Why are mosquito and tick on the list?
For comparison only — Schmidt's index measures stings. Bites are a different mechanism.
