What should I do if I get stung by a bee

Honey is a common food in our daily life. Honey has a unique taste and can moisten the lungs and relieve cough. We all know that the production of honey is very complicated and requires many processes, the most important of which is the need for bees to collect honey. Of course, many people will be stung by bees, which is also a very painful thing. So do you know what to do if you are stung by a bee?

(1) Carefully examine the wound. If there is a stinger left in the skin, remove it first.

(2) If you are stung by a bee, because bee venom is acidic, you can choose to wash the wound with soapy water or 3% ammonia water, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, salt water, etc. If you are stung by a wasp, wash and apply vinegar. You can also wash fresh purslane and squeeze the juice to apply to the wound.

(3) If you have Nantong snake medicine (Jide Du snake medicine), you can dissolve the tablets in warm water and apply it around the wound; or grind Zijinzhan or Liushenwan into powder and apply it to the affected area, which has the effect of detoxification, pain relief and swelling reduction.

(4) Folk single-test prescriptions can be used:

① Mash garlic or ginger or apply juice to the affected area.

②Cut the fresh eggplant and apply it to the affected area; or add appropriate amount of sugar, mash it and apply it.

③ Mash fresh violet yedoensis, lobelia, dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, leek, etc. together or individually and apply to the affected area.

(5) If an allergic reaction occurs, for mild cases, you can take 1 tablet of Astemizole once a day; or 4 mg of Promethazine, 3 times a day. Those with severe symptoms should be sent to hospital for treatment as soon as possible. To summarize, what I couldn’t remember before was bees/wasps, but now I remember that bee stings are actually treated with alkaline. Treat wasp stings with acid. What we often encounter in the wild are wasps, so remember the acid treatment.

The above is how to deal with bee stings. When encountering such a situation, we must take measures to deal with it in a timely manner. People with sensitive skin should also be careful when choosing medication. It is best to choose some plant skin care products in our daily life so as not to have some irritating effect on their skin.
