Most bug bites are harmless, but for some people, an insect sting can be life-threatening. If you’ve experienced significant swelling, difficulty breathing, or dizziness after a sting, you may have an insect venom allergy.
At ENT & Allergy Associates, our board-certified allergists in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania offer expert evaluation and venom immunotherapy.
Warning Signs of Allergy:
- Hives or swelling far from the bite site
- Difficulty breathing or throat tightness
- Dizziness or loss of consciousness
- Reactions worsening with each sting
We perform skin and blood tests to identify insect venom sensitivity and create personalized treatment plans to protect you for life.
