About Us

Wasp Watch is the monitoring and prediction arm of the website www.insectstings.co.uk, a website started by David Glaser who is allergic to wasp and hornet venom.

The Insect Stings site is run by well educated but non-medically qualified individuals whose main concern is that there should be full information available to all victims of insect stings, and particularly those who suffer from a severe allergy and where the reaction can be life threatening. The site enjoys a high reputation with many professional and charitable organisations as a leading source of information on this subject.

The Insect Stings site is a significant information resource and support centre for anyone interested in finding information about insect stings and handles some website 150,000 visitors each year. Information about visitors is gathered and it was felt that it might be both of interest and help for UK residents to have some indication of the level of insect sting activity at any particular point in time. The purpose of Wasp Watch is to therefore make public the raw data available from the Insect Stings website as well as provide informed predictions of the level of insect stings on a week to week basis.
