The more common biting non-tick arthropods in the US include

Sand flies
Horseflies
Deerflies
Blackflies
Stable flies
Mosquitoes
Fleas
Kissing bugs
Lice
Bedbugs
Wheel bugs
Certain water bugs

All of these arthropods, except wheel bugs and water bugs, also suck blood, but none is venomous.
Disease transmission is the main concern related to mosquito bites. Mosquitoes may transmit

Chikungunya virus, dengue
Some types of encephalitis
Malaria
West Nile virus
Yellow fever
Zika virus

Arthropod saliva composition varies considerably, and the lesions caused by bites vary from small papules to large ulcers with swelling and acute pain. Dermatitis may also occur. Most serious consequences result from secondary infection or hypersensitivity reactions, which can be fatal in sensitized people. Flea allergens may trigger respiratory allergy even without a bite in some people.
The location and pattern of wheals and lesions are sometimes diagnostic of the bite source. For example, blackfly bites are usually on the neck, ears, and face; flea bites may be numerous, mostly on the feet and legs; and bedbug bites often occur in linear patterns, most commonly on the torso.

Mite bites

There are multiple kinds of biting mites. Chiggers are probably the most common. Chiggers are mite larvae that are ubiquitous outdoors except in arid regions; they bite, feed in the skin, then fall off. Outside the US, chiggers may carry Orientia tsutsugamushi (see Scrub Typhus). They do not burrow into the skin, but because they are small, they are not readily seen on the skin surface.
Common mite species that bite and burrow into the skin include Sarcoptes scabiei, which causes scabies, and Demodex mites, which cause a scabies-like dermatitis (sometimes referred to as mange).
Dermatitis is caused by mites that occasionally bite humans but are ordinarily ectoparasites of birds, rodents, or pets and by mites associated with plant materials or stored food or feed.

Bird mites may bite people who handle live poultry or pet birds or who have birds’ nests on their homes.
Rodent mites from cats, dogs (especially puppies), and rabbits may bite people.
Swine mange mites (S. scabiei var suis) from pig farms or pet pigs may also bite humans.
The straw itch mite (Pyemotes tritici) is often associated with seeds, straw, hay, and other plant material; it is a parasite of soft-bodied insects that are or have been present in such materials. These mites often bite people who handle the infested items. Granary workers, people who handle grass seeds or grass hay, and people who make dried plant arrangements are most at risk.

Allergic dermatitis, or grocer’s itch, is caused by several species of mites associated with stored grain products, cheese, and other foods. These mites do not bite but cause allergic dermatitis because people become sensitized to allergens on the mites or their waste products.
House dust mites do not bite but feed on sloughed skin cells in pillows and mattresses and on floors (especially on carpets). They are significant because many people develop pulmonary hypersensitivity to allergens in the exoskeletons and feces of house dust mites.

Vitiation refers to the action of spoiling, impairing, corrupting or making something ineffective, typically in the context of legal contracts or agreements. A contract, for instance, can be vitiated if there was a mistake, misrepresentation or fraud involved in its formation, rendering it invalid or unenforceable. In broader terms, vitiation can also refer to the process of corruption or degradation.
