Sting Treatment
Bee Sting Treatment In An Easy Way
Bee Stings are be extremely painful and in a few instances, even deadly. Bees inject venom from a stinger under the skin of the person they sting. Unlike wasps that have stingers that retract after stinging, bees have barbed stingers that remain in the skin. The barb has a venom sack attached that can go on to pump venom for up to three minutes if it is not removed. Roughly 3% of the persons stung by bees experience an allergic reaction and approximately 0.8% have an allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Persons who are not allergic to bee stings will experience swelling and itching at and near the area they were stung. The skin will turn red and very painful. These reactions may continue for up to seven days.
If there is an allergic reaction, hives, redness and inflammation can form all over the body. Victims can also experience swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and imbalance.
Persons suffering from an anaphylactic reaction may experience, difficulty breathing, and a decrease in blood pressure that will lead to shock if not treated as soon as possible. 50 persons die each year from such reactions to bee stings. Anaphylactic reactions will occur within a few minutes of the actual sting. If someone who is allergic is stung more than once, their reaction will worsen each time.
What to do if you are stung by a bee:
1.Get away from the area where you were stung as bee stings release pheromones that cause other bees that are close by to attack.
2.Call an emergency medical service if you know you are allergic to bee stings or if you experience any of the symptoms described in persons having an allergic reaction. Watch all sufferers closely for symptoms of anaphylaxis
3.Check whether the stinger is still in your skin and remove it – it will look like a small black dot. It is suggested that you use a flat object such as a credit card to scrape away the stinger as pinching may cause more venom to enter the victim. The more quickly the bee stinger is removed, the less severe the reaction may be.
4.Put ice on the sting to reduce swelling.
5.Wash the area and apply hydrocortisone cream to lessen the severity of the reaction. It is recommended that a mixture of baking soda and water can also be used. Either of these will break down the poison**
6.Take an antihistamine, use calamine lotion and painkillers to relieve itching and swelling
**Bee venom is acidic, the mixture of baking soda and H2O is supposed to counteract the venom. Neutralization is unlikely as the venom is beneath the skin and in the tissues of the body and cannot be affected by an alkaline solution is placed on the surface of the skin.
