Tree Trimming Industry – Insect Stings
While trees, bushes, and other types of foliage play an important role in providing shade and beautifying communities, they can also be the homes of many types of insects. For tree trimmers, this means that their work often puts them near insects, including stinging or biting insects like ants, bees, wasps, hornets, and ticks.
When a tree trimmer comes into contact with insects like these, bites and stings can lead to a wide array of complications. Minor or solitary bites or stings can lead to temporary pain, but can also result in severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can lead to serious health complications, including breathing difficulty, severe confusion and anxiety, or even death.
Insect bites or stings can also put tree trimmers at an increased risk of insect-borne diseases, like malaria or Lyme disease. Health conditions like these can lead to chronic or permanent health impairments. If a tree trimmer is stung while working, the shock and pain of a sting or bite also increases the chance of a fall, which can lead to back and neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or broken bones.
