“…Atopic individuals, those with a history of multiple allergies, and those who have had a previous anaphylactic reaction to a different allergen may be at increased risk to develop sensitization to their first wasp sting [10]. One other contributing factor to the development of compartment syndrome in this child may be the fact that he was stung on the dorsum of the hand, where compartments are relatively small [8].…”

“…Population studies suggest that approximately 1/3 rd of the individuals suffering from systemic reactions have a personal history of atopic disease. [56] Large local reactions are swellings exceeding a diameter of 10 cm and lasting longer than 24 hrs, with an occasional blister. [7] Certain occupations may carry an increased risk of reactions to arthropods.…”

Introduction:The physical effects of the arthropod bites on human skin receive less attention, especially in the rural areas where the per capita income is less. Ours is a rural-based hospital, the vicinity having more of plants, trees, and forests; we undertook the study to find out the relation of insect bite dermatitis in a rural area.Materials and Methods:The study was carried out in the Dermatology outpatient department of our institute on 100 subjects of insect bite dermatitis who were questioned retrospectively about the sequence of events besides their environmental and living conditions. They were examined thoroughly and the relevant clinical findings were noted, also taking into account the prior treatment taken by them, if any.Results and Conclusions:It was found that insect bite dermatitis has no age or gender preponderance, and the protective factors for the same are use of full sleeve clothes and keeping the doors and windows closed at night. On the contrary, the risk factors are residence in areas of heavy insect infestation, use of perfumes and colognes, warm weather in spring and summer and the lack of protective measures. However, there was no direct association of atopy with increased risk of developing insect bite dermatitis.
