Cricket bites are more annoying than dangerous. These little insects bite out of self defense, so unless they're trapped in your hands or between you and your clothes, there isn't much to worry about. When a cricket does bite you'll know for sure - it will be a small sharp pain and burn. The best remedy is a dab of polysporin - this will help prevent infection but also relieve the pain and burning pretty quick. In my experiences, the polysproin did the job within about 1-2 min (stopped pain and burn, reduced redness and mild swelling). Of course if you are allergic to insect bites, you need to seek health care immediately. As far as the insect community is aware, there are no poisonous crickets. In fact, if a cricket is in your house, I would be more concerned about finding holes in my wardrobe and clothes than being bit!
No, they are not. Jerusalem Crickets are not venomous but their bites are apparently quite painful (likely due to the size of their mandables).

Although many insects are indeed venomous, Jerusalem crickets are not. They are devoid of any specialized toxic glands; as a result, they don't give off poison when they're feeling protective, scared, agitated or hungry. Jerusalem crickets aren't usually dangerous because of biting, either -- although there are exceptions to this. They do occasionally bite when they feel cornered or bothered by people in any way. If you leave these guys alone, they will probably do the same for you. Jerusalem crickets typically only are hazardous if another party initiates the encounter. Be safe and practical. Keep your distance from these insects. If you do experience a bite from one of them, it might hurt a lot -- ouch. Jerusalem crickets are equipped with jaws that are big and sturdy, after all. Because of this painful possibility, it's imperative to be extremely cautious if you ever are close to one of them.
No. Horsehair worms are harmless to humans. See the Related Link.
No, they do have a strong bite, however.
Flea bites can be dangerous to babies. The saliva of fleas contains anticoagulants which can cause severe infections in infants.
Generally chigger bites are not dangerous. They are more of an annoyance. If the area becomes discolored or painful than an infection could be on the horizon.
Any snake bites hurt, it's the poisonous ones that are dangerous though

It really depends how many bites you have, and if you're allergic to them then yes a flea is dangerous.

'Hardball' cricket is the proper form of cricket. Juniors tend to play 'softball' cricket because it can be quite dangerous playing with a hard ball. Hardball cricket is when you play cricket with the original leather stitched ball.
