What should I do if I get stung by a beetle and the wound becomes swollen?

Bees are a very important creature in nature. They play a very important role. They not only help plants reproduce, but also provide a lot of nutrients to animals and humans. For example, honey is one of people’s favorite foods. However, bees have the ability to protect themselves and respond to threats through the stinger on their tails. It is very painful for people to be stung by bees. Let’s take a look at what to do if you get stung by a bee and the sting becomes swollen.

Bee venom mainly contains formic acid, neurotoxins and histamine. After being stung, people mainly experience local severe pain, burning, redness, swelling or blister formation.

After being stung by a swarm of bees or a wasp with more venom, the symptoms are more severe and may include dizziness, headache, chills, fever, irritability, convulsions and fainting. A few may experience laryngeal edema, shortness of breath, vomiting, abdominal pain, increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, shock and coma. After being stung by a bee,

1. First aid measures

1. After being stung by a bee, the stinger will remain in the skin. You must use a sterilized needle to remove the broken stinger stuck in the flesh, then pinch the stung area hard and suck repeatedly with your mouth to suck out the toxin. If you don't have any medicine at hand, wash the affected area thoroughly with soapy water, and then apply some vinegar or lemon juice.

2. If shock occurs, after dialing "120" or on the way to the hospital, be sure to keep the injured person's breathing unobstructed, and perform first aid such as artificial respiration and cardiac massage.

1. After being stung by a poisonous bee, applying ammonia to the affected area is basically ineffective, because the histamine in the bee venom cannot be neutralized by ammonia.

2. Wasps are poisonous, but bees are not. After being stung by a bee, you should also remove the stinger first. The difference in treatment from wasps is that you can apply some ammonia, baking soda or soapy water to the wound.

3. If you have no symptoms after 20 minutes of being stung by a bee, you can rest assured.
