Insects that trigger allergic reactions include bees, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets and fire ants. Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction that can occur with insect stings: causing any combination of dizziness, weakness or unconsciousness, throat tightness or difficulty breathing, itching, and hives (welts) of the skin. The reaction usually starts within minutes (rarely more than 30-60 minutes) after the sting.<\/h4>\n

If you have had an allergic reaction to an insect sting in the past, you have an approximate 60 percent chance of a similar or more serious reaction when you are stung again. A\u00a0board-certified allergist<\/a><\/span>\u00a0can help.<\/h4>\n
