How to give first aid in Bee, Snake and Scorpion stings

 The symptom of bee stings usually lasts for a short time and these symptoms include local symptoms such as swelling, stinging or redness. If the bee stings more than one part of the person, or especially if it stings close to the person's trachea, this situation can become dangerous for the person.

First Aid For Bee Stings

First, the injured body area is washed with clean water. Then, if the bee's sting is evident on the skin, the sting should be removed immediately. Then a cold application is applied and if the bee stings the person in his mouth and the person's breathing becomes difficult, ice is immediately applied to the person's mouth. Afterwards, if the person is observed to have an allergy, 112 emergency service is called immediately.

Scorpion Sting Symptoms

In cases of scorpion stings, a very strong local reaction occurs in the person. These symptoms may include edema, pain, bruising, redness, inflammation, tingling, chills, muscle cramps, restlessness, and even convulsions.

First Aid for Scorpion Stings

The body part stung by the scorpion is tried not to be moved and is kept in a lying position. Afterwards, cold application is applied to the injured area immediately and a bandage is wrapped around the injured area, ensuring that the blood circulation of the person is not blocked. However, no intervention should be applied on the wound in scorpion stings.

Snake Bite Symptoms

Symptoms in snake bites are both local and general. These symptoms include inflammation and bruising, which can last for 1 to 2 weeks, as well as digestive system disorders such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or vomiting, excessive thirst, bleeding, shock, heart rhythm disturbance, respiratory irregularity, headache and psychological disorders.

First Aid for Snake Stings

The person is immediately calmed down and the environment is prepared for rest. Then, the injured area is washed with clean water and the items around the injured area, such as rings or watches, which may apply pressure to the wound, are immediately removed. If the snake has bitten the person's head or neck, pressure should be applied immediately around the wound. If the wound is on the leg or arm, the injured area is wrapped with a bandage lightly, that is, without pressure. If possible, cold application should also be made and other interventions to the wound should be avoided. Afterwards, the vital signs of the person are followed and emergency help is requested.
