Warning Signs Of Skeeter Syndrome

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction that can potentially be life-threatening if not treated immediately. Symptoms can vary and include hives, flushing, and swelling of the lips, tongue, and roof of the mouth; airway restriction resulting in difficulty breathing; and low blood pressure. Anaphylaxis can result in death and should be treated immediately. Patients with severe reactions to mosquito bites may be given specialized medical treatment to reverse the symptoms of the allergic reaction.

It is advised to visit a doctor or emergency room as soon as possible to reduce the risk of the reaction being fatal. It is also encouraged for individuals with a known severe reaction to mosquito bites engage in preventative measures to avoid mosquito bites and when engaging in activities that may increase the risk of being bitten, let others know the severity of their allergy and inform them of proper procedures in case a severe reaction occurs.
