What to do if you are stung by a bee

Whether in the countryside or in the city, you will often encounter bees in the summer, and being stung by bees is also a common occurrence. However, many friends think that being stung by a bee is not a big deal, and they can also detoxify themselves. However, if severe swelling and pain occur after a bee sting, it is recommended that you take some medical care measures.

Generally, women will feel very scared and nervous after being stung by a bee. This is not conducive to the correct treatment of bee stings. You must pay attention to carefully observe whether the stinger is left in the skin. If so, be sure to pull it out in time.

What to do if you are stung by a bee:

1. When stung by a bee, the local skin will feel pain and itching, accompanied by allergic irritation and local inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling and heat. If a bee stinger gets into your skin, be sure to remove it.

2. Applying ice to the sting can reduce pain and swelling. If the pain is severe, you can take some painkillers.

3. If there is a tendency to spread, there may be an allergic reaction. You can take some anti-allergic drugs, such as diphenhydramine, promethazine and other anti-allergic drugs.

4. Observe closely for about half an hour. If you find that the patient has difficulty breathing, or his breathing becomes rough or he has a wheezing sound, send him to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

If you are stung by a bee, take some alkaline powder (edible alkaline will do), wet it and apply it to the sting. This method is simple but very effective.

If you are stung by a bee in the wild, if you don't have alkali, you can find a bush called "Jing" (there are many such plants in the wild), crush its leaves (if you don't have tools, use stones) and apply them to the stung area.

However, if the situation is too serious, for example, if you are stung severely by a large group of bees, you should go to the hospital. There is a kind of bee in the wild called the buffalo bee, which is as long as a thumb and very fat. Not to mention humans, it can also sting cows to death.

The above is an introduction to what to do if you are stung by a bee. I would also like to remind you that bees generally do not sting people for no reason, so if you encounter a bee, try not to provoke it, so as to avoid being stung by it. If you are stung by accident, you must take correct measures to deal with it, otherwise it is easy to cause infection.
