How should I treat beetle bites from a stink bug?

Answer by  skateycat (124)

Wash the area with anti-bacterial soap and water. Dry the area and apply 1% cortisone cream. You can also use any over-the-counter anti-itch creams and lotions available at your pharmacy. Keep the area open to air. If the area becomes increasingly red, you will need to visit your physician for antibiotics.

Wash the bite with anti-bacterial soap if you have it. Look for cortisone or some kind of anti-itch cream to lightly apply to the bite. Don't bandage it, let it breath and expose it to the fresh air. If issues continue seek a doctor, though long lasting symptoms don't occur often.

Stink bugs don't bite but a similar bug called an assain does. Just wash the are with something like peroxide and apply cortisone cream for the itching. Don't badage the area and see your doctor if it becomes red and inflamed.

Stink bugs aren't beetles, and they don't bite. They feed off of plants only and don't have any mechanism for biting with.
