An insect bite occurs when an insect pierces the skin, typically to feed or as a defensive response, often injecting saliva or venom in the process. While most insect bites are mild and harmless, some may trigger allergic reactions or transmit infections. Although common, insect bites that become infected require timely medical attention to prevent complications.
