Abstract
Anaphylaxis from insect venom is mostly caused by Hymenoptera stings but has been also reported after bites by various blood-feeding arthropods. The horseflies (Tabanidae, comprising some taxonomically poorly defined subgroups such as deerflies, yellowflies, or clegs) is a hematophagous family of Diptera, with several species that feed on human beings. Bites by tabanids are painful and may induce a local wheal and flare response. However, they have also been believed to cause severe systemic reactions.
