I cannot directly answer your question about the long-term effects of insect allergies on horses, as the provided search results do not contain specific information on this topic. However, I can offer some general information about insect bites and stings and allergic reactions.
Insect Bites and Stings
Insect bites and stings involve a break in the skin caused by an insect, which may introduce saliva, venom, or excretory products into the skin. These substances can trigger allergic reactions, leading to skin lesions ranging from small, itchy wheals to large areas of inflamed skin with vesicles and crusted lesions.
Allergic Reactions
Specific components in insect saliva or venom can cause allergic reactions. In severe cases, a second sting from a bee or wasp can cause anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.
