Understanding and Managing Skeeter Syndrome: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Skeeter syndrome is a severe allergic reaction to mosquito bites characterized by significant inflammation and marked by large welts that can last for weeks. It can affect people of any age, but is most common in young children. Some individuals may experience swelling, difficulty moving, and fever. Skeeter syndrome can be mistaken for cellulitis or a bacterial infection. Treatment options include corticosteroid creams and oral steroids, with supportive care recommended. Changes in the immune system or specific allergies to mosquito saliva can trigger this condition.
