A member asked:
I was bitten by a devil coach horse beetle 3 weeks ago and have had chest infection since,2 courses of antibiotics and now steroids, are these related?

Mgt: It is probably not related. If you experienced an allergic reaction to the beetle this may be related to respiratory symptoms. Did you have a rash or itching?
