Talk:Insect sting allergy

Ticks are not insects

Text reads

Typically, insects which generate allergic responses are either stinging insects (wasps, bees, hornets and ants )

or biting insects (mosquitoes, ticks).

However, ticks are not insects -

Ticks (order Ixodida) are parasitic arachnids that are part of the mite superorder Parasitiformes.
