BITES & STINGS Modified by Mrs.Hamdia Mohammed

Mrs / Hamdia Mohammed Bites and Stings Insect stings and bites –What to Look For: Check the sting site to see if a stinger and venom sac are embedded in the skin. –Bees are the only stinging insects that leave their stingers and venom sacs behind. –Scrape the stinger and venom sac away with a hard object such as a long fingernail, credit card, scissor edge, or knife blade. Reactions generally localized pain, itching, and swelling. Allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurs will be a life threatening.

Mrs / Hamdia Mohammed Bites and Stings Insect stings and bites –What to Do: Ask the victim if he/she has had a reaction before. Wash the sting site with soap and water to prevent infection. Apply an ice pack over the sting site to slow absorption of the venom and relieve pain. –Because bee venom is acidic, a paste made of baking soda and water can help. Seek medical attention if necessary.

Mrs / Hamdia Mohammed Bites and Stings Cont. Tick bites –Tick can remain embedded for days without the victim’s realizing it. –Most tick bites are harmless, although ticks can carry serious diseases. –Symptoms usually begin 3 to 12 days after a tick bites.

Apply an ice pack to reduce pain. Calamine lotion may provide relief from itching. –Keep the area clean. Continue to watch the bite site for about one month for a rash. –If rash appears, see a physician. –Also watch for other signs such as fever, muscle aches, sensitivity to bright light, and paralysis that begins with leg weakness.
