After being stung by a bee, the first thing to do is to stay away from the hive to prevent being stung again. In fact, bees sting because the hive is threatened, so as long as they keep a certain distance from the hive, the bees will give up the attack. Moreover, bees are not as aggressive as wasps, and they will not chase intruders everywhere like wasps. Some artificially raised bees rarely attack even when standing at the door of the nest, but the aggressiveness of different bee species is different. In short, after being stung by bees, they will be the first.
Second, take out the poisonous needle
The stinger of bees consists of a back stinger and two abdominal stingers, and the ends of the stingers are connected with poisonous glands and internal organs. The tip of the stinger has a small barb, which will hook people's skin and can't be pulled out when stinging people. After being stung by a bee, some internal organs will stay on the skin with the stinger. Therefore, after being stung by a bee, you must carefully check the stung place. If the stinger remains on the skin, it should be taken out in time, but sometimes it may not be found. There may be two reasons.
Third, clean up the wound.
The toxicity of bees is very weak, showing weak acidity. You can use alkaline solutions such as soapy water and soda water to clean the wound to neutralize the toxicity. If there is no alkaline solution, it can also be washed with pure water. In fact, many beekeepers have basically completed this step when they are stung by bees, because it can be said that being stung by bees is a common occurrence for them, and there will be no other adverse reactions except mild pain. Some beekeepers don't even bother to do this step, but do it directly after being stung.
Fourth, apply medicine.
After being stung by a bee, the reaction varies from person to person. After being stung by a bee for the first time, besides the initial pain, there will be redness and swelling, which usually heals in 1 ~ 2 days. If you are stung by a bee several times, it will not be red and swollen. For example, beekeepers are basically immune to honey, but if the stung place is an unsightly place such as the face, it is best to apply some drugs, such as Nantong snake medicine, Wanhua oil and safflower oil.
V. Close observation
Being stung by bees is generally not a big problem unless you are allergic to bee venom, which is extremely dangerous. Mild people may have chest tightness, palpitation, dizziness, eyelid edema, fatigue and so on. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock can even be life-threatening. Therefore, close observation should be made after being stung by bees, and if you have bee venom allergy, you should be sent to the hospital in time. In fact, if the stung person has been stung by a bee before, there is basically no allergy to bee venom.
Summary: Being stung by a bee is not a big problem, and generally it will not bring any serious consequences. But pay attention to the situation of bee venom allergy. If you have allergies, be sure to send them to the hospital in time. At the same time, we are talking about bees, not wasps! Bumblebee! Bumblebee! The important things should be said three times.
