Experts: Help me identify a possible pest please!?
I repeatedly get one single bug bite during the night - usually on my knuckles. The bite looks like a mosquito bite sometimes but I “trapped” it (the biting stopped for a while) and has started again. No sign of bed bugs and I don’t react to those sort of bites right away. One night I was so paranoid I kept my hands far under the blanket all night and my chin was bitten. What could I be dealing with that only feasts once a night? The bite swells, is itchy and red, sometimes even has a dot right in the center of it. Why does this critter favor my knuckles?!

What are the chances of serious complications from a sting?
My mother was outside on the grass and something stung her foot. Her foot is swelling and she says that her body feels itch. No rash or difficulty breathing. I asked her if she wants to go to the hospital and she said no because the swelling is going down.
We are unsure what stung her and whether it is venomous it not and we could not locate a stinger in her foot.
Could she die or something?

My friend has gotten covid from her parents now she's sick at home with no medicine. ?
Favorite Answer:99.7% recover rate. Your friend should be fine in a while. I do not know how long, but she should be ok. If you want to help her, you can take soups to her house and leave them outside her front door. Call her from your car and make sure she gets them before you leave, or someone else may come by and take them.

I hit my head with my iphone 8 plus by accident?
The phone is pretty big for my fingers to grip correctly, but it was a gift and I always dealt with the size. I was using the phone under my blanket in one hand and as I was lifting the covers my hand forcefully slammed/dropped the iphone right into my forehead. It was pretty hard and I feel weird not dizzy but just weird. Anyways is this serious?

Can a bee sting cause lymph node to swell?
I got stung by a bee a week ago on the left side of my neck twice. 2 days later i noticed one lymph node is swollen (on the same side as the bee sting) so I was wondering can they cause that to happen or is it something else? It’s only one lymph node, it doesn’t hurt, it’s not big or really that noticeable, tender, none of that. It just don’t remember feeling it before the sting. Also, I tried to remove the stinger but I don’t think the bee left one behind.

Can you still get tetanus after being cut by non-rusty barbed wire?
I was doing yard work (mostly push mowing my yard) and cut the top of my hand on some sort of new barbed wire when I was mowing along my fence line.

Stung by wasp, safe to drink beer to ease the pain?
Just wondering if it's safe to drink a beer to ease the sting pain. Nowhere is open so can't by cream or painkillers until later.
I read somewhere that you shouldn't drink alcohol after being stung, anyone know if that's true? It'll just be 1-2 cans of stella and it's been approximately an hour since I was stung.
If it's unsafe to drink alcohol how long do I need to wait? A couple of hours? A day?

Stitches infected? ?
I got 3 stitches due to a dog bite about 5 days ago. I have an appointment to get them out tomorrow and the bottom portion (1 stitch) looks healed properly. The top one worries me because of the redness around it. Is it infected? I’ve done everything to keep it clean. Sorry the pic is a little blurry. Thank you
