Sting Treatment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bees and\u00a0wasps\u00a0are common summer visitors around your gardens and\u00a0flower beds. You could\u00a0inadvertently get stung while\u00a0working outside as\u00a0bees busily collect nectar or pollen. Wasps, such as yellow jackets and hornets, are more aggressive and will sting repeatedly with the slightest challenge. If you or a family member do get stung, take quick action with these first aid tips from WebMD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> If the stinger is still in the wound, remove it carefully\u00a0with tweezers or\u00a0by scraping it with your fingernail. Pinching it\u00a0could release more venom. One of the differences between wasps and\u00a0bees<\/a> is the stinger. Most bees have a hooked stinger that will stay in the wound while the wasp’s straight stinger can allow for multiple attacks.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Reduce the swelling by putting ice on the area and elevating if possible. Remove rings,\u00a0jewelry or clothing that could become too tight.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Treat the pain with ibuprofen or acetaminophen\u00a0and use an antihistamine to relieve itching. Soothe the wound\u00a0site with calamine lotion or a poultice of baking soda and water.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Symptoms usually last two\u00a0to five\u00a0days. To prevent infection, keep the wound area clean.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Seek medical attention immediately for symptoms such as dizziness, swollen tongue, trouble breathing, or hives, or if there has been a history of severe allergic reaction to insect stings.<\/p>\n

If wasps and bees are no longer visiting\u00a0but have taken up residence on your property, don’t attempt to get rid of them on your own. Contact the professionals at Allison Pest Control<\/a>. We can reduce the danger and pain of bee stings by\u00a0removing\u00a0or relocating\u00a0nests and hives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
