Covering your skin when walking through wooded areas can prevent stings; bees can cause generalized allergic reactions
With the higher temperatures, we pass more hours outdoors, we leave doors and windows open and therefore we are more exposed to insects. At this time of year, it is important to take measures to avoid stings and know how to act so as not to fall victim to these small animals

- The American Academy of Dermatology indicates that if we are going out at night or hiking in a wooded area, we must dress appropriately to avoid bites. To do this, he recommends covering exposed skin as much as possible with long-sleeved shirts, pants, socks and closed shoes

- In bee and wasp stings, in some cases, there are skin lesions distant from the sting, difficulty breathing, dizziness or digestive symptoms, which constitute an allergic reaction severe generalized also called anaphylaxis. In that case, you should go to a medical center quickly

Mosquito bites usually do not cause allergic reactions and usually disappear within a day or two. However, in some places you should be especially careful with mosquitoes, as they can transmit diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, etc.

During the summer, the risk of bee and wasp stings also increases as we spend more time outdoors. If a bee stings us, it leaves the stinger inside our skin and must be removed immediately to avoid injecting all the venom inside
