Intense Itching
One of the most common symptoms of Australoconops vesiculosus allergy is intense itching. The allergen, in this case the bite of the black fly, triggers a reaction that results in an irresistible urge to scratch the affected area.
Red Welts or Hives
People with Australoconops vesiculosus allergy might also experience the development of red welts or hives on their skin. These raised areas are often round and might persist for up to two weeks.
Skin Swelling
Swelling around the bite area is another key symptom. It may range from a small, localized swelling to larger, more severe cases where extensive parts of limbs can become swollen.
Headache
In some cases, the allergenic response to the black fly also can induce headaches. This symptom might be accompanied by dizziness and fatigue as the body battles the allergic reaction.
Breathing Difficulties
Some people might experience breathing difficulties - a condition potentially triggered by a severe allergic response known as anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening. Symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse, a skin rash, and nausea or vomiting. If left untreated, it can lead to unconsciousness or even cardiac arrest.
