Background: Imported fire ants (IFA) represent a potential anaphylactic risk to IFA-sensitized individuals.
Objective: We examined the prevalence of allergic sensitization to IFA, yellow jacket venom (YJV), and peanut in an adult population from an IFA-infested region, Augusta, Georgia.
Methods: Specific IgE to IFA, YJV, and peanut were determined by using the Pharmacia UniCAP assay in 200 random blood donors from an Augusta blood bank.
