Bee insects are a kind of poisonous animals, but the size of the toxicity is different. The harmful bees that sting people are divided into four categories: wasps, wasps, bees and bumblebees. Among them, stings mainly cause harm to the first two types, namely wasps and wasps. The tail of a bee has a hard thorn, which connects the internal organs of its body. the internal organs that produce toxins are called "venom glands". When we are stung by bees, the venom flows into our bodies along the stings. the parts that cause stings are red, swollen, hot and sometimes poisoned, causing dizziness, fever, asthma and nausea. People with allergies can be fatal.

Bee sting is one of the common clinical emergencies, which refers to the local or systemic reaction caused by the venom of the tail of the bee, which stings into the human body and releases venom. In clinic, the reaction is also different according to the individual constitution and the type of bee venom. Generally, mild cases only show local redness and swelling, pain and itching, which can be relieved after a few hours, and severe cases may have anaphylactic shock, acute laryngeal edema, pulmonary edema, multiple organ failure and so on.

Emergency treatment

After stinging, check the stinging place immediately. The remaining stings in the wound can be picked out with needles or tweezers, but do not squeeze, lest the remaining toxins enter the human body, and then pull out the cupping to suck out the poison to reduce the absorption of toxins.

Because different kinds of bees, their bee venom contains different substances, such as bee venom is acidic, wasp venom is alkaline, so if honeybee stings use soapy water or 5% sodium bicarbonate solution to wash the wound, if wasp stings, it can be smeared with acetic acid or vinegar to neutralize the venom; it can also be mashed and applied externally with hormone ointment, Nantong snake medicine, seven-leaf flower, half lotus, purple flower, dandelion, purslane, Artemisia annua and so on. Then apply ice to the sting to relieve the pain and swelling. If the pain is severe, you can take some painkillers.

In the early stage, if there is a tendency to spread, there may be allergic reactions, you can take some anti-allergic drugs; observe closely for about half an hour, if you find that there is difficulty in breathing, the sound of breathing becomes thicker, and there is a wheezing sound, even a little bit should be sent to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment immediately. Serious patients in the wound near the cardiac end of the tourniquet, every 15 minutes to relax, ligation time should not exceed 2 hours, go to the hospital as soon as possible.
