Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Clear leakage of tears(Epiphora) is not related to insect bite.
Blockage of nasolacrymal duct due to dacryocystitis causes Epiphora.
Better consult eye specialist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
