How To Treat Skeeter Syndrome

Epinephrine Auto-Injector

In some cases, skeeter syndrome may be severe and cause individuals to have serious internal issues instead of the typical topical skin annoyances. Those individuals with severe allergic reactions to mosquito bites may experience throat inflammation, resulting in difficulty breathing, a feeling of tightness in the throat, wheezing, and trouble speaking. Left untreated, skeeter syndrome can be life-threatening, so prompt treatment is necessary.

Individuals with a known severe allergy to mosquito saliva experiencing these symptoms may need to be treated with an epinephrine auto-injector pen. The treatment is injected into the body and begins working immediately to reverse the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, including airway constriction. Note, however, a visit to the hospital is still necessary.
