These symptoms are common when allergic to caddisflies. The body's immune response to the allergen can lead to the inflammation of the nasal passages, resulting in a runny nose and frequent sneezing.
As a reaction to the allergen, the nasal tissues can become swollen and produce excess mucus, leading to a stuffed nose or congestion, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.
Eye irritation is a common symptom of caddisflies allergy, leading to itchy, watery, and red eyes. This is due to the body's response to the allergen, inflammatory substances like histamines are released which cause these symptoms.
Contact with caddisflies can cause skin reactions, such as hives, rash, or eczema. These are typically characterized by itchy, red, and swollen patches on the skin.
Individuals with a caddisflies allergy may experience asthmatic symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. This occurs when the allergen triggers an immune response in the lungs.
In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction to caddisflies can lead to anaphylaxis. This includes symptoms like difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

Am I eligible?
Caddisflies tend to be more prevalent near water sources such as rivers, streams, and lakes. If you are allergic, try to avoid these areas, especially in peak breeding seasons when caddisflies are most common.
If you cannot avoid areas with caddisflies, protective clothing can help minimize contact with these insects. Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toe shoes, and consider a hat or bandana to cover your hair.
Topical insect repellents that contain DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus are known to deter caddisflies. Apply the repellent according to the instructions on the packaging, taking care to avoid mouth and eye areas. Remember to reapply as necessary.
Ensure that your doors and windows have proper seals. Close your windows and doors particularly during high activity periods, such as early in the morning and just after sunset.
