First aid with a poisonous bite

Ticks


The only insects that go in search of man and bite specially are mosquitoes and mites. If everything is clear with mosquitoes, then many misconceptions go about mites. They feed on blood, but it's not scary, because they only need a couple of drops. It is dangerous that they can be the carriers of dangerous Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. In fairness, it's worth noting that the chance of catching a bite is negligible. After all, according to statistics, only every thousandth of the bite of ticks leads to a disease. When a sucking mite is found on the body, you just need to calmly pull it out with your fingers, keeping it as close as possible to the place of the bite. If the mite does not lend itself immediately, slowly, shake it from side to side. It is not necessary to pour an insect with oil or cauterize, it is unlikely to help. In cases where the proboscis of the tick is detached from the extraction of the tick, it is necessary not to tear the wound, but to treat it with hydrogen peroxide and smear it with a green for 3-4 days, until the remnants of the tick themselves come out.

There is no point right after the bite to run to the hospital. Just remember the place of the bite and check it periodically. If after 2-3 weeks you find redness, then there is already an occasion to consult a doctor and conduct an immunogram of blood.

Wasps, bees, bumblebees


Surely every man has been bitten for once in his life by a wasp or bee. This bite is characterized by a sharp burning during 10-20 minutes, redness and a slight swelling. In a wasp, a smooth stinger with a poison on the tip, and a bee sting with notches. That is why the bee sticks in the human skin and the bee escapes from the abdomen along with the glands that produce the poison, which is why it soon dies. The sting should be removed as quickly as possible, otherwise the wound will heal much longer. Apply something cold, and the inflammation will pass faster.

Bites of bees in small quantities pose a threat only to people with an allergy to bee venom. They should immediately take special medications in case of a bite, otherwise itching, redness, but the worst - swelling of the respiratory system, can be lethal.
Neither a wasp nor a bee will bite you if you do not disturb them and stay away from the nests.

Snakes


The most common in Russia among snakes are vipers, snakes and slippers. When a viper bites, one or two wounds on the body remain, through which the snake venom injects. If there are more traces from the teeth, then it is most likely that he bit either skid. Their bite is not so dangerous, since the poisonous teeth are deep in the mouth, they are small and the poison is weak.

Nevertheless, it is better not to take snakes into your hands, do not step on them and carefully look under your feet when you move through the grassy terrain. After the bite, you must immediately tear off the snake and throw it away, if there is no wound in the mouth, suck it, spit the poison out of the wound, and rinse the mouth with water. Apply tourniquet to the extremities and cauterize is not necessary, it can become even worse. Immediately call an ambulance or go to the hospital. Moving alone in this state is dangerous, as the spread of poison in the blood can speed up.

Spiders and scolopends
