JAKARTA - The famous Korean solo singer, IU, recently drew attention after revealing that she had a smelter syndrome. This was conveyed by IU when appearing on the You In Radio show, which was hosted by actress Yoo In Na.

IU says that he suffers from rare syndrome, namely skeeter syndrome, which makes his body react badly if you are bitten by a mosquito. This syndrome makes him very sensitive with mosquito bites.

When bitten by a mosquito, the swelling is very large, such as a lump. Even have to take pain relievers. It feels like a mosquito allergy," said IU.

The Blueming' song singer also said that due to the syndrome, the body part of the mosquito bite has been numb to date. This makes IU hate mosquitoes compared to exposure.

In a place that was bitten, I can stab it with a needle but it doesn't hurt at all. That's why I hate mosquitoes more than my brain," he added.

Quoting from WebMD, on Friday, December 27, 2024, skeeter syndrome is an excessive body reaction to mosquito bites. This is due to allergenic polypeptides in mosquito saliva, which are sensitive to the skin of the sufferer of the syndrome.

Symptoms that will be experienced by people with this syndrome if bitten by a mosquito are swelling, redness, itching, and pain in the area that treats mosquitoes. These symptoms are silent in a few hours after mosquito bites and last for weeks.

Usually the swelling will be accompanied by a red lump of brownness that feels hard and itchy, it can even moisturize or become a black spot that looks like a wound. To overcome this syndrome, there is no special treatment that can be done, only with medication or itching cream or pain.

However, sufferers are usually advised to get medical treatment if the symptoms experienced reach a stage of difficulty breathing or dizziness. This can pose a risk of causing anaphylaxis shock, which can cause death.
