An epidemiological study on the prevalence rate of systemic reactions among forestry workers exposed to hymenoptera stings was performed. A sample of 100 Forestry Department Agents was studied using a questionnaire with the purpose of evaluating the prevalence rate of systemic reactions due to hymenoptera stings. From the questionnaire it was found that 78 (78.0%) of the subjects had histories of Hymenoptera stings and 5.0% had experienced systemic reactions. In conclusion, we found that the percentage of systemic reactions was relatively higher than that in the general population previously reported (0.3-3.3%). Efforts should be made for the sake of these Hymenoptera hypersensitive workers to popularize venom immunotherapy.
对接触膜翅目昆虫叮咬的林业工人全身反应患病率进行了一项流行病学研究。使用问卷调查了100名林业部门工作人员，以评估膜翅目昆虫叮咬引起的全身反应患病率。通过问卷调查发现，78名（78.0%）受试者有膜翅目昆虫叮咬史，5.0%经历过全身反应。总之，我们发现全身反应的百分比相对高于先前报道的普通人群（0.3 - 3.3%）。应为这些对膜翅目昆虫过敏的工人推广毒液免疫疗法。
