Clinical Insights and Case Analysis of Disorders Attributed to Cicadas in the Emergency Department
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to characterize the impact of the 2024 co-emergence of cicada broods on emergency department and urgent care visits in the United States. Through a retrospective chart review, they identified 42 cicada-related cases among over 1.3 million visits, primarily involving trauma and allergic reactions. The findings highlight the need for public education and preparedness for future cicada emergences, despite the overall limited health system impact.
