Hello, my name is Gregory. When I was a young lad, I had to enter the health care world in an unexpected way. I developed a serious disease out of the blue that took doctors by surprise. I went through so many different testing procedures before my doctors could diagnose the rare disease. Everyone around me reeled as they tried to understand the purpose and process of the diagnostic tests. I hope to help others understand these important tests better through this website. Please come by often to learn all you need to know about medical diagnostics and working closely with health care professionals.

7 March 2016
If your child has recently been diagnosed with a stinging insect allergy, then he or she is allergic to the venom released when stung. Thus you probably already want to prevent your child from experiencing anymore stings. While most people know to watch out for bees, they do not understand that yellow jackets, hornets, fire ants, and paper wasps will produce the same sort of allergic reaction as a honey bee. You should be the most careful when it comes to hornets, because they are far more aggressive than other stinging insects.
