Insect Venom
Insect venom is a significant source of anaphylactic reactions. The most famed class of insects are hymenopterans, which include hornets, bumblebees, wasps and ants. The insects can leave their sting on the skin, sometimes also with the venom sac. A prompt and efficient removal of the sting without causing the sac to burst, can prevent more quantities of venom instilling in the body. Insect bites can cause a lot of various anaphylactic symptoms, starting from swelling to respiratory distress. Insect stings can be severe even in the first exposure, which also makes the identification of proper risk factors difficult.
