Quick And Effective Remedy For Bee And Wasp stings

Bees and wasps inject venom by stinging. The stinger is sometimes left in the skin. The venom causes local pain and swelling. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction may develop and be fatal.

Symptoms

pain, redness, itchiness & swelling at the site.
indications of severe reaction include- swelling round eyes & lips
difficulty in breathing/ wheezing
abdominal pain
rapid drop in blood pressure ( shock)

Do's

if a stinger is present in the skin, quickly scrape it out.
observe a person for at least 30 minutes to see if he/she develops a severe reaction.
activate emergency medical response.
ask if he/she is carrying a prescribed epinephrine auto-injector or EPI-PEN.
If so, assist him in using it.

Don't s

do not remove the stinger with a plucker or finger nails. 
This breaks the stinger & leads to the venom spreading further.
