%X Forestry and field workers who work outdoors are at high risk of Hymenoptera stings
and may develop occupation-related allergies after being stung. We reported that approximately
40% of these workers had specific IgE to Hymenoptera venom. However, clinical surveys
of Hymenoptera stings in the occupational setting and prescription of adrenaline injector
to affected workers have rarely been reported. We surveyed outdoor workers in Japan
who had experienced an anaphylactic reaction after a Hymenoptera sting to examine
the rate of prescription of adrenaline injectors.
