Bees, wasps
These are the marinating insects. Their bites are toxic and very painful. The peak of their aggressiveness is at the height of summer.
If the bee stings, you need to pull the stinger with tweezers, you can apply a cold compress to the place of bite, you can wipe the stung place with parsley leaves or ammonia. If stings of a wasp or hornet, the place of bite is better treated with an antiseptic - these insects are carriers of infectious diseases. If the swelling increases, consult a doctor, check the house for the presence of aspen nests, if found - eliminate: unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly.
To say goodbye to doubts and fears, consider the possibility of vaccine prophylaxis. However, for this summer season the vaccine is done late - the first stage of vaccination is carried out in the autumn (in October), and the second - in the beginning of spring. But for the future: when vaccinated, you gain a stable immunity to the bites of the encephalitis mite. And his virus is not in vain considered the most problematic.
Mosquitoes
Only a very poetic person could call the sound issued by these bloodsuckers, the ringing ... The mosquitoes "ring" in our ears both in the city and outside it. And mercilessly bite. Especially sorry for kids. After all, they are a favorite mosquito delicacy, and from bites suffer much more than adults.
Remember that mosquitoes sit more often on damp, sweaty skin, mosquitoes are very prolific, so try to get rid of mosquito breeding sites - stagnant water tanks. Smells that mosquitoes can not stand: cinnamon, bird cherry, tansy, bitter wormwood, fragrant geranium, citrus. To protect the premises, use a mosquito net or gauze, do not forget about the fumigators. When you bite mosquitoes from the itch help compress from the soda solution (0.5 tsp soda to a glass of water), infusion of calendula, juice of onions, plantain, parsley. At the child of a place of mosquito bites it is necessary to grease with a zebrafish or accurately to process alcohol; just in case, you should always have on hand antihistamines to relieve itching and swelling. Going for walks, treat open body parts and clothing with special products that are easy to buy at pharmacies.
Ticks
They need to be worried about the middle of May (plus or minus a couple of weeks, depending on the weather) and until early October. This extremely patient insect does not attack its prey and generally does not stick to it, but sits quietly and waits for it to be approached.
When going into the woods, put on long-sleeved clothes, tight cuffs, headdress, puff your trousers in high boots, treat the clothes with repellent. After a walk, shake clothes thoroughly. The tick bite is very difficult to notice - it emits a special fluid that acts as an anesthetic. When a tick is found, it is necessary to remove it very carefully, so that the insect's proboscis does not remain in the wound. Removing the tick, you can not press on it - it will inject even more of its saliva into the wound, namely it is the source of infection; well, if you can quickly go to the emergency department, polyclinic or the point of prevention of tick-borne infections, you can get first aid after removing the tick, the place of bite should be treated with iodine, zelenka or alcohol. What remains of the tick must be carried to the SES for analysis - the only way to understand whether the insect was infected and get accurate recommendations.
Animals are domestic and not very
So, historically, we often feel sympathy and trust in dogs and cats. But we do not always enjoy reciprocity. Statistics of attacks of stray dogs, alas, are not yet pleasing, and the result of an animal attack is usually bitten-lacerated wounds or deep scratches, usually on the hands, feet, face, head. The result of bites can become diseases, such as rabies.
Since it is usually impossible to check the bitten dog for "reliability" (who is the boss, whether there are vaccinations, whether it is healthy), the recommendation can be one: after first aid should be consulted to the doctor. The site of the bite (especially deep puncture of the tissues) must immediately be treated with antiseptic (chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide solution, manganese solution). The same applies to cases of rodent bites.
Of the poisonous snakes that live among us, the most known are the viper and shield-muzzle. And although it is believed that unreasonable aggression from them should not wait, no one can know what exactly will alarm or anger the snake. Many professional clinics use folk remedies for bite treatment, but not all of them have a really good reputation from clients. It is imperative to warn of the danger of young researchers, who are drawn to catch the reptile's tail, and also to make sure that they know what a poisonous snake looks like.
As soon as possible (5-10 minutes after the bite), treat the affected area: from the wound it is necessary to squeeze out the poison - it can be sucked out only under the condition of the integrity of the mucous membranes of the mouth, spitting the contents of the wound; then rinse your mouth with potassium permanganate, if swelling starts, suction should be stopped. Skin around the wound treated with antiseptic: iodine, zelenok, alcohol, vodka; place a sterile bandage on the affected area. The victim can not move - the movement increases blood circulation, this contributes to the spread of poison. When you bite, you need to drink more from an allergic reaction using antihistamines. After rendering first aid, the injured person should be taken to the doctor as soon as possible, where he should be given a special serum. To repel the victim with alcohol, cauterize the wound with vinegar or rinse with potassium permanganate, apply a tourniquet.
