HECHOS

  1. Las muertes relacionadas con los insectos se asociaron con mayor frecuencia a tres tipos de trabajos: agricultura, construcción y jardinería.
  2. Las picaduras de abejas, avispones y avispas pueden ser mortales, y en un período reciente de seis años, esas picaduras han matado cada vez a más estadounidenses.
  3. Si una abeja pica a alguien, otras personas deben permanecer junto a la víctima para asegurarse de que no se produzca una reacción alérgica. Hay que lavar el lugar de la picadura con agua y jabón y retirar el aguijón, pero hay que utilizar una uña o una gasa, en lugar de apretar o utilizar pinzas.

ESTADÍSTICAS

  • Las abejas fueron el insecto más comúnmente involucrado, con 52 de las 83 lesiones laborales mortales durante el período 2003-2010 resultando de incidentes relacionados con las abejas. Once trabajadores murieron en incidentes relacionados con avispas, incluidos 3 incidentes con avispas amarillas (que son un tipo de avispa). Los accidentes laborales mortales relacionados con insectos suelen estar asociados a un shock anafiláctico. En total, 39 de los 83 relatos de casos señalaron que el fallecido sufrió un shock anafiláctico.
  • Durante el periodo 2000-2017, se produjeron un total de 1.109 muertes por picaduras de avispas, avispones y abejas, con una media anual de 62 muertes. Las muertes oscilaron entre un mínimo de 43 en 2001 y un máximo de 89 en 2017. Aproximadamente el 80% de las muertes se produjeron en varones.
  • Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, hasta unas 100 personas mueren cada año en Estados Unidos por reacciones alérgicas a las picaduras de insectos.
