Stinging insects include wasps, hornets, and bees. Biting insects include ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas. Stings and insect bites are not usually serious unless there is an allergic reaction. But stings in the throat or mouth are serious and a cause of concern. It is because the swelling they cause can obstruct the airway.
