Question

"Which of the following is not true of insect stings from bees, wasps, and fire ants? a. Greater reaction of hypersensitivity occurs most often with the initial exposure than with subsequent exposures b. For mild reactions, applying cool compresses to the site of injury is the usual management c. Insect stings occur most often during the spring and summer months d. Most stings occur in self-defense when the nonaggressive insect feels threatened or irritated"

Answer 1

The incorrect option would be c. Insect stings occur most often during the spring and summer months.


Insect stings can occur at any time of the year, not just in the spring and summer months. In some regions, certain insects may be more active in the spring and summer months, but this is not universally true for all insects. Stings can occur any time of the year depending on the climate, region, and time of day. Additionally, the seasonality of sting occurrences may vary from region to region, making it not accurate to say that insect stings most often occur in the spring and summer months.
