Anaphylaxis caused by stinging insects is typically an allergic reaction to the injected poison, irritating toxin, and deadly venom rather than the bite or sting itself. The correct answer is option(D)i.e, All of these answers are correct.

Anaphylaxis can be fatal if untreated or improperly treated. Even if your symptoms disappear pretty quickly, they may return a few hours later, worsen, and become more challenging to cure.

People who have allergies typically experience mild to moderate symptoms, such as watery eyes, a runny nose, or a rash. Anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction that can be fatal, can however occasionally result from exposure to an allergen. When too many chemicals are released at once, shock results, which is a severe reaction

The most frequent triggers within these groups were wasp and bee stings (n = 1460 and 412, respectively), legumes (n = 241), animal proteins (n = 225), and analgesics (n = 277). In children, peanuts, cow milk, and hen's eggs were the most common food allergens to cause anaphylaxis; in adults, it was wheat and shellfish. When you have anaphylaxis, your immune system releases a rush of chemicals that can put you in shock and cause your blood pressure to drop and your airways to constrict.
