What to do if you are bitten by a seaside insect

After being bitten by insects on the beach, don't be too nervous. You should take certain measures to deal with it in time. If the insect is biting your skin, it is best to blow the insect away with your mouth to avoid killing it directly and causing greater impact on the skin.

If you experience some uncomfortable symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time.

What to do if you are bitten by a seaside insect

1. Kill insects and ants as soon as possible and preserve their bodies. Doing this is to provide a better basis for doctors to consult in case the insects and ants are highly poisonous, so you must be brave to kill the insects and ants and put them in paper towels, plastic bags or glass bottles.

2. Rinse with clean water. Use running water to carefully rinse the wound and the surrounding area, which can not only wash away toxic substances but also prevent wound infection.

3. Squeeze out the blood or thorns from the wound. The blood clots at the wound may be poisonous, so squeeze out the blood clots. If it is a bee bite, use your fingers or tweezers to remove the stinger from the wound. If the wound is too deep, you can carefully suck out the stinger with your mouth.

4. Rinse with soapy water or vinegar. If it hurts and itches, it is usually because the insect is poisonous, mostly biological acids or biological alkalis. If soapy water or edible alkali solution does not work, you can try vinegar.

5. Scrub with alcohol or iodine for disinfection. After the above washing, scrub the wound with alcohol or iodine.

6. If the wound is red and swollen, you can use ice cubes or ice water to cool down and reduce swelling.

7. Seek medical treatment promptly depending on the severity of the injury. If the wound is deep, or there is severe numbness, pain, etc., you should take the insect or ant's body to a regular hospital for treatment in time.

Doctor's reminder:

There are more insects in the grass in summer, so citizens should be careful when going into the grass and try not to be bitten by insects. If you feel uncomfortable after being bitten by an insect, go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying and missing the best time for rescue. As the weather gets hotter, various insects begin to stir. Many citizens are bitten every year, and some citizens with allergies react more severely. It is recommended that citizens do not sit directly on the grass or lie shirtless on the grass, because some insects are very small and difficult to detect, and once bitten, it will be troublesome.
