What to Know for Summer:

With summer comes an increase in insects stings, one of the most common being fire ants.

Some people may be allergic to insect stings and develop severe reactions including significant swelling around the site, swelling of the tongue and/or throat and may develop difficulty breathing. These people should seek medical attention.

Check with your physician if you feel you may be allergic to insects to discuss proper treatment/avoidance strategies.
