Symptoms:
redness of the lesion fever, nausea, vomiting, weakness weakness low blood pressure, swelling of urticaria angioedema
This type of allergy is a reaction to a bite or removing the insects on which there is intolerance. In medicine it is also found another term - insect allergens. It can occur as a result of all kinds of contact with insects - from touching to the inhalation of their metabolic products.
How are allergic to insect stings
It is able to manifest itself in two forms: moderate; acute.
Moderate reactions to insect stings cause one or more of these symptoms: itching; raising the local temperature; swelling; skin rash; redness at the site of the bite; soreness.
Acute reaction has different manifestations. Among them: a drop in blood pressure; dizziness; tachycardia (rapid pulse); anxiety and restlessness; swelling of the mouth, throat, or face; urticaria (itchy red rash that extends beyond the sting site); heavy breathing.
Also, there may be a delayed reaction that occurs after 6-12 hours after the bite of an insect. And sometimes - and up to 2 weeks. It manifests itself in the form of shallow breathing; heart palpitations; weakness; enlarged lymph nodes; painful joints; rash on the body; headache; malaise.
Causes of allergies to insect stings
The basic reason is genetic predisposition to this type of allergy. The appearance of sensitivity and its activation caused by a number of external and internal factors, such as: poor environment; the presence of certain diseases; eating disorders (carcinogens, flavorings, colorings and chemical additives in food).
Allergy provoke bites of various insects: wasps; hornets; bees; bumble bees; red ant; harvester ants; mosquitoes; mosquitoes; midges; horseflies.
After a bite allergy often manifests itself immediately, within the first minute. Rarely - a few hours later. If there is an intolerance to insect venom, the reaction of the organism to be stormy. The local signs as redness, slight swelling and itching join the common symptoms. This - a consequence of the immune system to fight foreign substances (allergens). Thus is prevents the penetration of poison in the blood.
Bites give rise to edema, erythema and rash polymorph. It is one of several forms: necrotic; hemorrhagic; urtikalnoy; papular.
Also rozhistopodobnye appear as erythema reaction without temperature increase and regional lymph nodes. There is, and the general reaction of the organism in the form of low blood pressure; difficulty breathing; shortness of breath; a weak but rapid pulse; increasing the temperature of the body; weakness; hives; swelling.
If this condition is not affected to provide timely medical care, the consequences are extremely serious: angioedema; spasm of the lungs; cardiac arrest; loss of consciousness; swelling of the throat; anaphylactic shock; death.
Diagnosis of allergy to insect stings
Diagnosis is based on history and examination received the bite. The problem is often facilitated by the fact that the defeat he saw what he was bitten by an insect. If not - confirmed the allergen skin test.
For this purpose markup portion of the body (most often - the inner area of the forearm) are alternately applied to the liquid to the allergen and make a shot or a scratch. In the presence of the poison of intolerance reaction manifests itself in the next 30 minutes.
Treatment:
The bite is injected with epinephrine (adrenaline). It contributes to non-proliferation of poison throughout the body. This drug is opposed to the development of allergy in an acute form. Further intramuscularly give prednisolone which antagonises histamine. At the Bite applied an ice pack. In some cases, make drip and treat with oxygen.
In mild allergy medication used with a local calming effect. It can be any of ointments, sprays or panthenol fenistil gel. Once the process is stopped, start immunotherapy using specific allergens.
Prevention of allergies to insect stings
The most effective prevention - avoiding the source of allergy. That is to look out for insects. In the event that confirmation has medical pathology and contact can not be avoided by resorting to preventive therapy antihistamines. In addition, allergies should always carry a "protivoshokovym first aid kit" with prednisolone, adrenaline and syringes.
