Avoiding Insect Sting Allergies
Soon, it will be officially summer, and the fun begins. Unfortunately, not just for us, but also for our multi-legged foes: fire-ants wasps, bees, hornets, and other insects. For those with allergies to insect stings (and most never know for sure until they've already been bitten), this can be present a big hazard to venturing outdoors. Here are some tips from the AAAAI to avoid getting stung by insects:


  • Avoid the "territory" of the stinging insect's nest. These insects are most likely to sting if their homes are disturbed.

  • Remain calm, quiet and slowly move away from stinging insects. Do not swat them.

  • Avoid brightly colored clothing and perfume outdoors that may attract stinging insects.

  • Be careful when cooking, eating or drinking sweet beverages outdoors. Keep all food and beverages covered until consuming them.

  • Avoid loose-fitting garments that can trap insects between material and the skin



Here's more about insect sting allergies, from AAAAI.
