Suggest Precautions Should Be Taken To Avoid Allergic Reaction To Insect Bites
Question: Will I need to be extra careful in the future? I have never before had any allergic reaction to insect bites.
Brief Answer:
Yes!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this question.
Yes, you should be careful in future. Not because you are at a particularly higher risk after the initial bite but, because no one entertains having insect bites whether they result in an allergic reaction or not.
This was not a severe allergic reaction like anaphylaxis that requires extra caution in future.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Yes!
