Insect bites   normally cause pain and swelling because of the effect of the venom. The degree of reaction produced depends upon the type and quantity of venom introduced. But in some children, the venom acts as an antigen and with the antibodies already present, induces an allergic reaction. Insects can be divided into two groups: biting and stinging Yellow Jacket   according   to   the   allergic  reaction     produced.
Biting-insect Allergy. Allergic reaction to biting insects such as mosquitoes, is not immediate; it is delayed. It is only after several hours of the bite that the site becomes red and swollen. There may be some rise in the body temperature. However, the reaction is never serious or fatal.
It does not require any treatment, except an occasional tablet of antihistamine to check itching. The body reacts less to them after many such bites. This is also the reason why these reactions are more severe in children than in adults or older people.

It can also be caused by many infectious diseases, by anaemia, or by an underactive thyroid gland. Sometimes fatigue persists following a viral infection, and this is now known as post-viral syndrome or chronic fatigue syndrome.

Fatigue is very often reported as a symptom of food intolerance, especially in connection with migraine and irritable bowel syndrome. Early-morning tiredness is the most frequent problem. Looking back over case-histories, it seems that fatigue may be an early warning sign as food intolerance develops. How food might produce fatigue is not known, but exorphins may play a part, or it may be a side-effect of some generalized immune reaction, as is suspected in post-viral syndrome.

No-one should embark on an elimination diet without first consulting their doctor, but this point should be emphasized for anyone with severe fatigue.

There can be several other causes for this problem, and some of these are serious diseases.
