Warmer weather in Miami encourages people to spend more time outdoors, whether at backyard barbecues, beach vacations, or hiking trails. However, this increased outdoor activity also brings a health risk that is often overlooked: insect bites and stings. Insect bites can be more than just an itchy inconvenience.

Mosquito bites and bee stings are examples of the types of bites that can occur. Further information on treating and preventing summer insect bites and related health risks is available from Miami's Community News.
