Allergic Reaction to Scorpions, Fire Ants, Bees or Wasps
One of the top type of pests that people are allergic to and have a more severe allergic reaction to are stinging pests. They are pests that usually come out in the spring and summer months when the temperature warms up. The pests in this category are usually bees, wasps and fire ants. These are all pests that have the ability to sting you and inject a toxin into your body. The toxin is what you are actually allergic to. The toxin can get in your blood stream and if you are allergic can cause a skin irritation all the way to difficulty breathing and even death. These types of pests are often near a source of food that can consist of plants and food that is left out. The flying and stinging pests are keen to be near some water source such as a lake, river and even your swimming pool. It is a good idea to know that these can create an allergy that can become serious.
Mosquito, Spider, Tick, Flea, Bed Bug Bite Allergy
There is another category of pests that usually do not carry the same level of allergic reaction if you come in contact with them. These are pests that tend to bite if they are threatened or as a way for them to feed. This group contain bed bugs and fleas. They will attach to the skink and start to feed on your blood.
