What if my hand is stung by bees, wasps and wasps? How to treat it quickly?

In life, many friends have tasted the situation of being stung by bees and wasps. Once they are stung, it can be said that they are in unbearable pain. What if they are stung by bees? How to treat it quickly? There are many kinds of bees that can sting people, including bees, wasps, bumblebees and soil bees. The tail of the female bee carries a poisonous needle. When the bee stings, the venom is ingested into the human body, which is very painful and accompanied by swelling. In serious cases, there will be shortness of breath and confusion. I hope friends will pay enough attention to it.

There are many kinds of bees in nature with different names, such as "bees", "wasps", "wasps" and so on. But what they have in common is that they all have "jellyfish needles" in their tails for self-defense, and they will use them to fight back against the invading enemy.

Although bees have stinging needles, they will not take the initiative to attack human beings and abide by the principle of "people do not offend me, I will not offend others". As long as they do not provoke them, they will not be hurt. Therefore, when playing in the wild, pay attention to stay away from the grass and bushes, do not provoke, catch bees, and find that the beehive should go around quietly.

What if I get stung by a bee? How to treat it quickly?

Take out the poison needle: after being stung by a bee, examine the wound carefully. If the tail sting of the bee (poison needle) is still in the skin, you can use tweezers or needles to gently press the skin near the wound to expose more poison needles, and then clip it out with tweezers. Note: do not squeeze the wound to avoid the spread of venom.

Cleaning: once stung by a bee, wash the wound with warm water, soapy water or salt water or sugar water, and fresh urine is fine when there is no water. If there is any residual sting in the wound, it should be removed immediately.

Apply medicine: Wan Hua oil, safflower oil, green ointment and so on. Mash, chew and apply ginger, garlic, purslane (a kind of wild vegetable) to the wound.

See a doctor: if you have headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, irritability, fever and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately for treatment. What are the manifestations of bee stings? There are many kinds of bees, such as bees, wasps, bumblebees, soil bees and so on. Drones are harmless because they have no poisonous glands or stings; they are all female bees (worker bees), whose venom is connected to the venom gland at the end of their abdomen and is injected with venom when the sting stings into the human body.

When a bee stings, it often leaves its sting at the wound, but after the wasp stings, it retracts the sting and can continue to hurt people. Bee venom mainly contains formic acid, neurotoxin and histamine, which can cause hemolysis and bleeding, inhibit the central nervous system, and cause friendly allergic reaction in some patients with stings. After a person is stung by a bee, only local redness and swelling, pain, burning sensation, blisters, ecchymosis and local lymph node enlargement can be found in mild cases, which disappear within a few hours to 1 or 2 days. If the body is stung by a swarm of bees, it often causes fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, restlessness, fainting and other systemic symptoms.

People who are allergic to bee venom can cause urticaria, rhinitis, swelling of lips and eyelids, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and some serious ones can cause laryngeal edema, asthma, dyspnea, coma, and eventually die of respiratory failure.

How to judge venom

If you are stung by an ordinary bee, its venom is "acidic". You can rinse or wipe the wound with soapy water, baking soda and other "alkaline solution" to neutralize the venom and eliminate swelling and pain.

If you are stung by a wasp, its venom is "alkaline". You can wipe the wound with vinegar and other "weakly acidic liquids" to neutralize it with the venom and relieve pain and itching.

It should also be noted that: do not use drugs such as red potion and iodine to smear the bruised area, otherwise it will only aggravate the swelling of the stung site. If the swelling is heavy, cold compress the wound with a wet towel will have a relieving effect.

If you are stung to more than 10 needles, especially the urine of the person who is stung becomes soy sauce, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible without delay!
