What to do if you are stung by a long-legged bee

Bees are social animals and they like to build hives. The outside of a beehive looks like a big ball. Many naughty children like to destroy the beehive with things. The direct consequence is that the bees become angry and come out to sting people. Being stung by a bee is very painful because the stinger is very thin and can easily cause redness and swelling. There are many types of bees. What should you do if you are stung by a long-legged bee?

A long-legged wasp sting generally causes local pain, swelling, and redness. In your case, I suggest that you first pay attention to rest, eat light and warm food, eat more vegetables and fruits. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for injection of dimethoate and mannitol treatment. Topical application of white vinegar is more effective.

Bee stings are local and systemic poisoning symptoms that occur after being stung by bees (such as honey bees, bumble bees, wasps, etc.). It is a biological injury and one of the clinical emergencies. The main components of bee venom are histamine, neurotoxins and formic acid. After the stinger at the bee's tail penetrates the skin, the toxins can be injected into the human body, causing biological poisoning and leading to local or systemic reactions. In severe cases, hemolysis, liver and kidney damage, and anaphylactic shock may occur.

method

1. Bandage

Immediately bandage the proximal end of the punctured limb, and relax for 1 minute every 15 minutes. The total bandaging time should not exceed 2 hours.

2. Pull out the stinger

First check for any stingers lodged in the skin and carefully remove them immediately if found. The method is to stick it with tape and then peel it off or pull out the thorn with tweezers. If the stinger that has pierced the skin is still attached to a venom sac, do not use tweezers to remove it, as this will squeeze out the venom and aggravate the reaction. Instead, use a sharp needle or the tip of a knife to pick out the stinger and venom sac.

3. Neutralize Venom

The venom of bees is acidic, so you can use soapy water or 5% to 10% sodium bicarbonate solution to wash the wound; the venom of wasps is alkaline, so you can use boric acid powder or vinegar to wash and apply to the affected area to relieve local symptoms.

4. Treatment of local pain, redness and swelling

Calamine lotion can be applied externally to local redness and swelling to dissipate inflammation. If the redness and swelling are severe and accompanied by blisters exudate, 3% boric acid aqueous solution can be used for wet compresses. If the pain is severe, use analgesics as appropriate. If your limbs are stung, you should reduce activity and apply ice packs locally to reduce the absorption of toxins.

5. Keep your breathing clear

If anaphylactic shock occurs, keep your breathing open while notifying emergency services or on the way to the hospital.

prevention:

1. During field training, you must wear long-sleeved clothes, a mask and gloves to avoid being stung by bees.

2. Do not chase bees when they are flying to avoid being provoked and stung.
