Information on Allergic Reactions to Insect Bites

A committee to study allergic reactions to biting insects was recently formed by the American Academy of Allergy. Its studies will include methods of prevention and treatment and possibly hyposensitization to insect bites, as well as the characteristics and frequency of such reactions.

To get an idea of the number of people suffering from reactions to these insects (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, spiders, may flies, horse flies, black flies, deer flies, and sand flies), readers are asked to supply the following information.

The approximate number of patients with such reactions seen in a year; any pertinent clinical findings, such as sites of bites, age and sex of the patient, environment when bitten, severity of reaction (localized or generalized), fatalities, treatment and results of treatment.

Please send this information to the Chairman of the Committee, Claude A. Frazier, M.D., 516 City Hall Building, Asheville, North Carolina 28801.
