Skeeter Syndrome Surging in Alberta | Canada News

Alberta’s mosquito season is turning into a real nightmare—with bites triggering wild allergic reactions in kids, dubbed “skeeter syndrome.” Swelling so severe it can even wrap around eyes is becoming alarmingly common, especially for newcomers and young children who haven’t built up immunity. Heavy rain earlier this year fueled a population explosion—some areas reporting 100x more mosquitoes than last year. While not life-threatening, these reactions can be miserable, treatable with ice, steroid creams, and antihistamines. Over 1,500 hospital visits last summer alone. If you’re worried, Health Link’s got you. And if the rain keeps pouring? Expect more bites—and more drama. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
