Midge Bites

How to treat a midge bite Annoying – only usually a health issue where there are multiple bites Apply anti-histamine cream Do not scratch

Bee & Wasp Stings

Rare, especially in upland areas Painful, but not generally dangerous Bee stings are best removed with tweezers Not generally dangerous, but a few people can have an anaphylactic reaction…

Anaphylaxis AN EXTREME ALLERGIC REACTION Swelling, especially around the mouth and eyes Sufferers should carry medication, often in the form of a self-injecting needle or ‘pen’ Anaphylaxis can be a MEDICAL EMERGENCY, if it threatens the airway Evacuate to hospital IMMEDIATELY
