Lymphedema is the swelling of tissues ( edema ), usually the feet and legs, due to lymphatic obstruction.

Insect bites and stings can cause an immediate skin reaction. The bite from fire ants and the sting from bees, wasps, and hornets are usually painful. Bites caused by mosquitoes, fleas, and mites are more likely to cause itching than pain.
