What are bee and insect stings or bites? What causes bee and insect stings or bites?
A bee or insect sting happens when the creature inserts a sharp hollow needle part of their body, normally on their rare end into the persons skin and injecting a toxin as part of it defensive reaction or territorial behaviour. Some stings are deattached from the insects body and have a little sac of venom which pumps in the poison.
Each year, many Americans are stung by insects. Mostly, these stings mean pain and discomfort generally lasting only a few hours. Symptoms may include redness, swelling and itching at the site of the sting.
Wasp, Bee, Fire ants, and Hornet stings and bites can cause allergic reactions; where the persons immune system overreacts to the venom injected by a stinging insect. Severe allergic reactions to insect stings can involve many body organs and can spread rapidly, and can even kill a person by inflaming the air ways and blocking air to the lungs. In severe cases, a rapid fall in blood pressure may result in shock and loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis which shows up as hives over large areas of the body is a medical emergency, and may be fatal.
If you are stung by a honeybee that has left its stinger and attached venom sac in your skin, then remove the stinger within 30 seconds to avoid receiving more venom, by scraping a fingernail over the inserted sting which easily removes the stinger and sac.
You can then apply a natural home remedy skin compound made from plant extracts that can draw out the venom and break it down and providing a cooling affect on the skin and blister. To find out what plant extracts have anti-inflammatory and immune system enhancing properties, then please read the Natural Plant Cures ebook below.
