What substances are most likely to cause a severe reaction?
There are many possible Allergens, but these are the most common:
• Peanuts, tree Nuts (such as walNuts and Cashews), Shellfish (like Shrimp and Lobster), Fish, Milk, and Eggs are the most common Culprits, although any food can cause a severe Allergic reaction. (A great deal of research is being done on whether delaying the introduction of potentially Allergenic foods will delay the onset of allergies in Allergy-prone children. If Food allergies run in your family, your child may be more susceptible.)
• Drugs in the penicillin family (including the popular antibiotic amoxicillin)
• Insect bites and stings (especially from Bumblebees, Honeybees, Yellow jackets, Hornets, Wasps, Fire ants, and Harvester ants)
• Latex (often used in Healthcare facilities)
• Food preservatives and colorings (like FDC yellow No. 5)

My baby was bitten or stung by some kind of insect. Should I be concerned?
It's common for children to get bitten and stung by insects, and usually the reaction is a mild one.
Mosquitos, Biting flies, Ticks, and some Spiders often cause only Itching or Minimal stinging and Slight swelling.
Stings from Bees, Wasps, Hornets, Yellow jackets, and Fire ants can be painful, but they're usually not serious.
Your baby's reaction will depend on how sensitive he is to the particular insect.
