Summer is upon us, and with the warm weather comes exposure to stinging insects, which include honeybees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.
Most people develop pain, redness and swelling at the site of an insect sting. This is a normal reaction that takes place in the area of the bite.
A serious allergic reaction occurs when the immune system gets involved and overreacts to the venom, causing symptoms in more than one part of the body such as:
• Swelling of the face, throat or tongue
• Difficulty breathing
• Dizziness
• Stomach cramps
• Nausea or diarrhea
• Itchiness and hives over large areas of the body
This severe allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis.
If you think you might be allergic to stinging insects, an accurate diagnosis is essential. An allergist has specialized training and skills in determining the cause of your symptoms conducting a thorough health history followed by allergy testing to determine what, if any, allergens put you at risk for serious reactions to stinging insects.
