If the bee stung

To attenuate the local toxic reaction immediately after stinging by hymenoptera, it is necessary to attach a piece of sugar to this place, which helps draw the poison out of the wound and prevents the development of edema. If swelling is painful and does not subside, consult a doctor.

If a bee or wasp swarm attack

, develops a general intoxication of the body: increases the temperature, there is a headache, nausea and even vomiting. Therefore, before the doctor comes, try to drink as much as possible and go to bed;To slow the absorption of poison, put a hot water bottle with cold water or a towel in place of the swelling.soaked in cold water. With urticaria there is a significant decrease in blood pressure, so give the victim 20-25 drops of cordiamine. Alcohol is categorically contraindicated, as it contributes to increased vascular permeability, which leads to increased edema.

You can not use raw soil, clay for local cooling, as some do: it can lead to tetanus infection or blood poisoning.

But it happens that after stinging, even one hymenoptera begins a person suffocation, there are swelling, hives, pain in the abdomen. This suggests that he developed an allergic reaction.

The general allergic reaction is eliminated by taking any antihyetamine drug( dimedrol, suprastin).

Otherwise, first aid for an acute allergic reaction is the same as I do with a general toxic: a cold warmer to the place of stinging, 20-25 drops of cordiamine.

Anyone who has ever had an allergic reaction to the poison of a bee, a wasp, a hornet or a bumblebee must necessarily turn to an allergist. Such people in the summer should always have with them issued an allergist so-called passport of the patient with an allergic disease. It indicates the surname, name, patronymic of the owner, his age, home address, telephone number, diagnosis, telephone number of the allergological office where the patient is observed, and those urgent measures to be taken in case of stinging by the Hymenoptera. It is necessary for a person to carry a syringe-styling and a set of medicines listed in the passport.

Especially urgent measures are necessary in case of development of severe allergic reaction - anaphylactic shock. The victim should be covered, heated with warm water bottles, give one or two tablets of dimedrol, 20-25 drops of cordiamine and urgently call an ambulance or deliver it to a medical facility.

If the of the injured person stopped his heart and stopped breathing, we must do a cardiopulmonary resuscitation before the arrival of the ambulance: artificial respiration and closed heart massage.
