Insect bite during Prabhas' film shoot: Rajesh Sharma hospitalised

Bollywood actor Rajesh Sharma, who has appeared in many films such as 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa,' 'Dirty Picture,' 'MS Dhoni,' and 'Parineeta,' has reportedly been hospitalised after an insect bite. According to reports, he is currently under close medical observation at Manipal Hospital in Dhakuria, Kolkata. The actor was shooting for a Prabhas-starrer in Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City, and apparently, he suffered an insect bite while interacting with technicians in a vegetation-covered area. The actor reportedly felt something bite him, but wasn't sure which insect was responsible. As it didn't appear serious, he continued with the shoot. 

A few hours later, the actor apparently started experiencing extreme pain in his right leg. He boarded a flight to Kolkata after work and developed a high fever during the journey. He sought immediate medical care after reaching Kolkata. He has been experiencing breathing difficulties. Large blisters have also started appearing on his leg. 

First aid for insect bites
Upon noticing an insect bite or sting, it is important to take a few basic steps to prevent it from developing into a serious illness, even if you don't see the exact bug or feel uncomfortable. Here are a few recommended by the Cleveland Clinic.

a) Wash and disinfect the bitten skin area immediately. This reduces the risk of bacterial infection.
b) Draw a circle around the bitten area to track any signs of spreading infection, swelling or redness.
c) Check whether any vector/insect is embedded in the area and remove it with disinfected tweezers at the earliest.

d) Track any developing symptoms like skin reactions, body aches, chills or fever.
e) Reach out to the doctor if symptoms worsen and take the required medicines.
