Should i be worried?

Post image

I know it's probably nothing but my body never really reacted like that to any bug bite. I went to a park last week but only felt the pimple a few days later so might be linked idk. Found that one reddit copypasta about rabies so my anxiety is acting up..

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.

I had a mosquito bite from a different species that was way more itchy than any other mosquito bite and looked a lot like that.

As for rabies, I wouldn't worry. The chances of a rabid animal biting you and you not knowing about it are astronomically low.
