Summary:
Promising developments may bring relief to those suffering from severe food and insect allergies. Experts highlight certain products that offer new hope.---
Understanding the triggers of severe allergic reactions can be a game-changer for those affected by food and insect sting allergies. According to experts, recent advancements might provide much-needed relief.
The six primary culprits behind most food allergies are milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, and tree nuts like walnuts and pecans. When it comes to insect stings, the major offenders are yellow jackets, honeybees, paper wasps, hornets, and fire ants.
Avoidance remains the most effective strategy. "While there’s no cure for food allergies, the immediate treatment for anaphylaxis?"a potentially life-threatening reaction?"is an epinephrine injection," advises Dr. Steven Lamm, an internist known for his regular health insights on ABC’s "The View." He emphasizes the importance of carrying an EpiPen or Ana-Kit at all times for those at risk.
These emergency devices deliver epinephrine, which opens airways and elevates blood pressure quickly but must be administered without delay.
In the case of insects, fire ants sting over 20 million people annually, posing a significant threat, especially to children. Their stings result in intense itching, burning, and pain.
"When disturbed, fire ants can swarm an intruder with hundreds or thousands of stings, posing severe health risks," warns Nate Royalty, Ph.D., an entomologist with Bayer Environmental Science.
Although most stings are manageable, 10-15% of people may experience severe localized reactions, and 1-2% risk systemic reactions, which can be fatal. In the U.S., fire ants infest an area larger than Spain and France combined, covering 325 million acres.
"We recommend that homeowners consult with professional pest control experts to assess and manage fire ant infestations. Solutions like TopChoice?"a low-dose, granular insecticide?"can effectively control existing mounds and prevent new ones for up to a year," advises Royalty.
By staying informed and prepared, individuals can better manage these allergies and protect themselves against potential threats.
