Biting Insects Bugging You?

By , About.com GuideAugust 15, 2007

Follow me on:

The stinging insects and arthropods, such as bees, wasps, fire ants and scorpions, get most of the attention in allergy. But what about mosquitoes, bed bugs and Asian Ladybugs? These insects can also cause allergies for some people, with mosquitoes and bed bugs causing reactions through biting, and Asian Ladybugs causing reactions through inhalation and contact allergy. And while reactions to these less glamorous bugs may not be life-threatening, like their stinging cousins, allergies to the biting insects and Asian Ladybugs may be more common.

Find out more about allergies to these non-stinging insects, and how to deal with your symptoms if they're bugging you:
