Varieties of diseases are carried by insects and animals, transferred to you by their bite. Most of the time diseases are spread by bacteria and viruses that are carried by insects and animals.
People are usually attacked by these diseases directly through insect or animal bites or insect feces or other close contacts with these insects or animals. If we talk about the instant solution to stay safe from these diseases then wear insect repellent.
Diseases we get from insects?

Murine Typhus and Bubonic Plague
Murine typhus is a disease mostly in southwestern states people face. It’s not a very common disease but few cases are still reported affected by Murine Typhus. People suffering from Murine Typhus can also be found in NorthAmerica.
We have talked about Murine Typhus do you know who is the transmitter of this insect. Its flea very common insect but spreads dangerous diseases.
One more scary disease that comes to my mind name as Bubonic Plague is a well-known flea transmitted disease.
