Overview Of Bee Stings
- Most individuals will be stung by a bee at some point. Generally a bee sting creates a throbbing, uncomfortable bulge which might be annoying for a few days.
- But some individuals will have a more serious response. This can range from general inflammation of an entire limb (leg or arm) to a reaction disturbing the entire body causing a person breathing to become restricted.
- A bee’s sting contains a piercing hook with a bag of poison attached to it, also known as the venom sac. The venom from this sac will be propelled into the body for a few minutes.
How To Treat Bee Stings
- The best way to handle a bee sting is to scratch it off using a stable item such as the edge of a knife or a bank card.
- Ice should be applied directly to the affected area. If the individual who has been stung is known to respond poorly to bee stings, a compression dressing should be placed to the affected area.
- Medical assistance is vital. A dose of adrenaline might be required to overcome the swelling.
- Bees are fascinated by strong scents and vibrant shades. They are most lively on sunny days.
- Kids are mainly susceptible to bee stings.
- One of the most unsafe places to be stung by a bee is near the mouth. The inflammation can restrict breathing. This generally occurs when you are having a drink outdoors and not observing a bee getting into your glass.
