What are the symptoms of a wasp sting?

Hornets are different from bees. Hornets can catch people without leaving their stingers. At the same time, the toxicity of hornets is stronger than that of bees. Many people are allergic to hornets. If they are stung by a hornet, their lives may be in danger. Hornets travel in swarms. Once stung by one hornet, it may attract a large number of hornets. Special attention should be paid to the redness and swelling after being burned.

Methods/Steps

Hornets, also known as "wasp", "ant bee" or "yellow jacket", are a widely distributed, diverse, fast-flying insect. It belongs to the Vespidae family of the order Hymenoptera. The female bees have a powerful long stinger. When attacked or disturbed unfriendly, they will attack in groups, which can cause allergic and toxic reactions in humans, and in severe cases, death. Wasps usually build their nests out of softened, pulp-like wood pulp and eat animal or plant food.

How to treat a wasp sting first aid

Wasp toxins and stings: Wasp toxins are divided into two categories: hemolytic toxins and neurotoxins. They can cause functional failure of human liver, kidney and other organs. In particular, the sting on human blood vessels can be life-threatening and is dangerous for people with allergies. The wasp's stinger has no venom gland cover and can launch multiple attacks or stings on humans. Therefore, wasp stings do not leave a venomous stinger like bee stings. I once rescued a man who was stung by horsetails more than 980 times, but not a single poisonous stinger was left in the wounds.

[First aid for wasp stings] Washing with water is the best way. Rinse the wound with running water, preferably with soap. Rubbing and flushing can not only wash away the toxins in the wound, but also have the effect of cold compress to relieve pain.

[The most urgent thing to do when being stung by a wasp: allergy] Some people are allergic to wasp toxins. If these people are not given timely and professional first aid, it often leads to the patient's death. Allergic reactions to hornet stings are manifested by rash, erythema, itching and pain all over the patient's body, followed by chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and a sharp drop in blood pressure, and the person will quickly fall into a coma. The author has encountered many such patients.

[Anti-allergic, anti-shock] When an allergic reaction to wasp venom occurs, rescue efforts must race against time. Epinephrine is the first choice for rescue. Use large doses of hormones in the early stage, the earlier the better. In clinical practice, we use dexamethasone up to 20 mg to 30 mg per day. Use pressor drugs appropriately and use compound sodium chloride to expand volume.

[Use antacids] Use antacids such as omeprazole to protect the gastric mucosa and prevent stress ulcers.

[Improve microcirculation] Using large doses of 654-2, such as 20 mg each time, and a 654-2 injection once a day, can greatly improve microcirculation.

[Ji Desheng Snake Medicine Tablets] Ji Desheng Snake Medicine Tablets are dissolved in rice wine into a paste and applied on the wound to relieve pain immediately. The author once rescued a patient who had more than 900 hornet stings. The patient was in severe pain all over his body. He used pethidine injections, but the pain did not ease. After applying Ji Desheng snake medicine tablet paste, the pain went away immediately. At the same time, Ji Desheng Snake Medicine Tablets can be taken orally, 3 times a day, 10 tablets each time, with rice wine for better results. If it is a mild hornet sting, Ji Desheng snake medicine tablets alone can achieve the therapeutic effect.

[Protect the heart and kidneys] Patients often develop heart, kidney and liver damage 2 to 3 days after injury. Therefore, starting from admission to the hospital, a biochemical test including myocardial enzyme spectrum, liver function, and kidney function will be reviewed tomorrow. When any abnormality is discovered, timely symptomatic treatment should be given.
