Insect Allergy: Stinging and Biting Insects

  • Chapter
Cellular, Molecular, and Clinical Aspects of Allergic Disorders

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Immunology ((COMIMUN,volume 6))

Abstract

Allergic reactions due to the common stinging insects bee, wasp, yellow jacket, and hornet will be the primary emphasis of this chapter. In addition, reactions due to fire ants, which are nonwinged hymenoptera, and biting insects will be briefly considered.
