yesterday morning..
i was 1st time stung by a sexy cute honeybee !
i fainted in canteen, my friends shouted non-stop,
many students and lecturers crowded around me,
ambulance fetched me to the nearest hospital..
actually.. not so serious la..
bee sting.. small case ~ =D
the correct treatment
The first step in treatment following a bee sting is removal of the sting itself.
The sting should be removed as fast as possible without regard to method
studies have shown the amount of venom delivered does not differ if the sting is pinched or scraped off and even a delay of a few seconds leads to more venom being injected.
Once the sting is removed, pain and swelling should be reduced with a cold compress.
The study concluded that ice alone is better treatment for bee and wasp stings than aspirin.
effect
The sting may be painful for a few hours. Swelling and itching may persist for a week.
The area should not be scratched as it will only increase the itching and swelling.
If a reaction persists for over a week or covers an area greater than 7-10 cm (3 or 4 inches),
medical attention should be sought.
allergic
For about 2 percent of people, anaphylactic shock from certain proteins in the venom can be life-threatening and requires emergency treatment by a physician. People known to be highly allergic may carry around epinephrine in the form of a self-injectable
