I doubt if it's some type of disease.
If I were u, I would pour sum rubbing alcohol onto a clean, white towel and scrub the area that was bitten. After you've scrubbed it real good, put sum Johnson & Johnson (preferably) first-aid cream on it...it will help take the itch away, clean it, disinfect it, and heal it.

First of all, how can you be sure what type of bug bit you? Did you actually see it bite you. Second of all... are you in the United States and if so, what region? This information would help to identify the bug that bit you. Some types of bug bite create a reaction similar to what you have described and are quite harmless... as mentioned above it could be just an allergic reaction, however, there are some insects in the US that bite and if left untreated, can cause some serious problems.... examples would include the Brown Recluse Spider which causes Necrosis of the tissue around the site of a bite - a very not nice condition. Other examples would include the Black Widow Spider, Some types of Tick or Chigger and various types of fly. If the reaction is worrying you, I would strongly suggest that you speak with your primary care physician (family doctor) - there is always the possibility that you could contract some form of blood borne disease from insect bites such as West Nile Virus, etc... get it checked out.

Nope, you're fine. A flying ant bite is similar to a mosquito bite, and the bump should go away in a few days. Unless you start having a severe reaction, which could mean you are allergic, you are at zero health risk.

Was it a mosquito? If so, this is normal for mosquito bites. Try an itch creme for the itching and use a bug spray like Off! to prevent a recurrance.

You'll be fine.
Most bugs aren't poisonous - despite what your paranoid friends tell you. Watch for infection, and live with the itch.
I live in the rural south. If you walk outside in the warm weather, you can get overridden with chiggers. I am especially susceptible to chiggers - my fair skin is a real treat for those little nastys. Once, when I was a kid, we went camping, and the chiggers were so bad that we had to soak my socks in water to get them off my swollen-weaping ankles.
But, now, today, I have no scars. In fact, I have sexy ankles. BUT, I wear my OFF when I go camping - for sure!

I don't think it is anything serious because I have had this happen to me and it usually goes away within 3 days. If you are worried, go to a doctors, but I am about 70% sure it is not a fly disease.

It likely sounds like a mosquito bite, which almost certainly wont hurt you. If you get a fever its possible you could have West Nile and shoudl go to the Dr., but its very unlikely, and you only have it if you get a fever.

pff lol unless it is really huge (bigger than 2-3 inches or so in diameter) its probably a mosquito bite or something... you can put some hydrocortisone (light, and not more than a couple days) or benadryll itch cream/spray if its really bothering you. otherwise just leave it alone itll be gone in a few days.i highly doubt you have a serious disease.
