THE LATEST
From May/June until fall I consistently see children who are brought to my office for me to look at their insect bites.
It’s that time of year again when the bugs start to return from their “off season vacations” and we all start to realize that there are bites appearing all over children’s bodies!
I received another e-mail with an attached picture (you can take a look too) asking me my thoughts on what to do about this child’s bite. My first thoughts are, “is this really a bite, or is it an early staph infection?”
With everyone finishing out summer vacation and trips to near and far, and away from one’s own bed, I wondered if any one had been unfortunate enough to develop bites secondary to bed bugs?
I am sure there is a purpose for stinging insects in the animal kingdom, but they are quite a nuisance in the human kingdom during the summer months.
