Just a moment of inattention or movement in the wrong direction. Running barefoot, a can of lemonade on the table, or just a sweet buzzing shrub. You get sting or know how. “Not only bees are at home,” says Dalibor Titěra from the beekeeping research institute in a podcast. And even though we are happy for them, it is good to know how to cope with unwelcome stabbing.
Podcast about bees and beekeeping awaits you here:
First it hurts, then usually ripens and swells. And in the end it doesn’t matter if the bee sting has left you or you have received a sting from a wasp or an ovade. This is unpleasant in all cases. In the pharmacy today you will find a lot of products that will get rid of pain and itching. But what if they aren’t at hand at hand? Try what our ancestors have tried for centuries. Baba’s advice can handle miracles from the pharmacy equally well.
First aid
The advantage is that you don’t have to explore what bit or stabbed you. In all cases, the cold works to alleviate swelling and pain and the sooner you start to cool, the better. Water from a mountain stream, a can of beer or a cooling cushion from the freezer are great, but if you do not have them, just soak any piece of fabric in colder water and place it in the affected area. Every stage is calculated in this case.
Miracle
Do you have onions? Cut it straight away, squeeze the juice directly into the wound and then put the other half on it. Try to leave for about 30 minutes, swelling and pain should retreat. However, the swelling will also help the vinegar wrap (which also pulls out the heat) and the irritation should also reduce the attachment of crushed parsley or basil leaves, or a few drops of essential oil from lavender.
Don’t underestimate it
You tried everything. Even over -the -counter medicines. But nothing helped, there was a hard swelling around the injection, has it been hot for several days or even pus? Do not wait for anything and go to the doctor. The body can respond to the insect poison differently and there is no point in playing the hero. Even when it comes to “ordinary sting”. You can have a strong response even if you do not suffer from any allergy, and it is unnecessary to bother the body, for example, by inflammation.
