A wasp sting causes itching, redness and swelling, what to do?

Why does the wasp attack

This insect is very persistent , which is familiar to everyone who has at least once fought off this striped predator in their own home or in nature. A bee is capable of attacking a person only in emergency situations, when there is a real threat to it, because after biting it leaves a sting in the wound and dies. The wasp is capable of stinging repeatedly, so it attacks for any reason. Why does the wasp attack? The main reason is a defensive reaction. This insect is a real predator, and a very aggressive one at that. With the onset of summer, wasps begin to feed on flies, small garden pests, and subsequently fruits and berries. They are very attracted to women's perfumes and bright summer colors, and when a person tries to drive away a wasp, she perceives this as a signal to attack.

Remedies for itching during normal reactions

You can anoint a wasp sting to prevent itching at home using pharmaceutical preparations and folk remedies. In the wild, for these purposes they use their own saliva, which is a strong antiseptic, cold water, celandine, dandelion, and lemon juice. If you have alcohol, treat the wasp sting with it. High-quality vodka is best suited for these purposes.

Wasp sting symptoms

Wasp and bee stings are quite difficult to distinguish from each other. If stung by a wasp, the following symptoms occur:

pain and burning;
swelling;
temperature increase;
nausea;
redness;
itching;
tingling sensation in the mouth.

When attacked by only one individual, the swelling usually goes away in 3 to 4 days, without causing any adverse health consequences to the person. But there are people prone to allergic reactions to wasp venom. In this case, the swelling is accompanied by vomiting, rapid heartbeat, convulsions, hives, and fever, which is very difficult to bring down. Swelling of the throat is very dangerous, which can result in suffocation.

If an allergic reaction develops after a bite, you should inject adrenaline or take an antihistamine as quickly as possible. In more severe cases, medical assistance is required to prevent anaphylactic shock.

Prevention and protection against wasp stings

There is no need to assume that when encountering a wasp a bite is inevitable, but people prone to allergic reactions need to be doubly careful. To avoid a wasp sting, it is enough to follow some rules when walking or relaxing in places where stinging insects may appear.

You should not use strong-smelling cosmetics and perfumes, as insects are very attracted to the smell of perfume and cologne.
You should not wear bright clothes with floral patterns; it is better to give preference to white or beige.
It is undesirable to consume aromatic foods, sweet carbonated water, and fruit drinks outdoors.
You should not leave food waste close to your resting place.
You should try not to walk barefoot on flowering grass, where there may be wasps.
The windows in the car must be kept closed when driving: once inside, the insect begins to rush around in search of a way out and can bite a person.
You should behave calmly and not wave your hands at a wasp flying by.

To protect against unwanted visits by insects to living rooms, you need to use screens for windows and doors. The most dangerous time to encounter wasps is the end of July - beginning of August. And, no matter how hot it is, it’s better to make jam behind closed doors.

Why does my skin itch after a wasp sting?

A wasp sting cannot help but itch, because the poison, penetrating under the skin, affects the nerve endings, irritates them, and sometimes destroys them. Once it enters the circulatory system, it spreads throughout the body, stimulating lesions in nearby tissues.

The toxic effect of the poison usually lasts for 48 hours.

For most people who are bitten, the swelling and redness go away much sooner. The most difficult wasp stings are:

Small children;
aged people;
patients with weakened immune systems;
allergy sufferers.

The latter may develop intoxication up to anaphylactic shock with cardiac arrest and swelling of the respiratory tract. Therefore, it is mandatory for them to carry a small first aid kit with them for first aid, from spring to late autumn. It must include:

antihistamines (Suprastin, Diazolin);
drops to normalize blood pressure;
adrenaline ampoule, syringe.

Symptoms

The main symptom that accompanies a wasp attack is pain. Its intensity varies - from moderate to excessively strong, provoking the risk of loss of consciousness. Allergy to wasp stings provokes symptoms that are determined by the location of the damage. A particular difficulty during wasp attacks is associated with the injection of poison into the lymph node area, into the cervical and facial areas. The intensity and nature of the body's response have three levels of severity.

Weak degree of damage

With allergic manifestations in a mild form, all signs appear on the skin. The bite site turns red and swelling occurs. Along with pain, local temperature increases, the patient complains of a burning sensation and itching. A rash appears. The manifestation of urticaria is local in nature and occurs in the bite area. However, in certain situations, spread over the entire body is possible. Typically, this reaction is characteristic of children under two years of age, people with a weakened immune mechanism, and also during initial contact with poison.

Signs of moderate damage

If the bite causes a more serious reaction, then in addition to skin rashes, swelling and redness, signs of deterioration in the person’s condition are added:

pain in the head with dizziness;
a feeling of weakness accompanied by nausea and even vomiting;
a drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate;
problems with the respiratory system in the form of heavy breathing, dry cough, shortness of breath;
muscle spasms and fever;
phenomena from the gastrointestinal tract in the form of diarrhea, pain in the digestive organs;
problems with coordination, inattention, lethargy;
pale skin.

Signs of severe allergies

As a result of a wasp attack, the reaction can appear instantly - within 5 minutes. There are difficulties with breathing, and the larynx swells. This increases the risk of anaphylactic shock. It is impossible to treat such allergic reactions yourself at home. Requires medical assistance and hospitalization.

Damage to the respiratory system provokes swelling in the larynx. It also affects the trachea and throat. The result is frequent bronchospasms, panic appears, which aggravates the situation. Wheezing and whistling are heard and suffocation occurs. Due to heart problems, blood pressure drops and the heartbeat becomes frequent. This provokes fainting.

To alleviate the serious condition, Prednisolone and Adrenaline are administered. A tourniquet is placed over the site of penetration of the poison. Treatment is carried out in a hospital.

How does the bite work?

Biting insects can sting several times in a row. At the moment of puncture, the bitten person usually feels severe pain. Immediately after this, the area turns red and a lump or swelling appears on it. To top it all off, it itches quite a bit.

Redness and swelling may persist for several days, as will itching. In this case, the swelling may increase in size. Scratching the affected area aggravates the itching and may accompany the appearance of an inflammatory process.

If a person has an allergic reaction to stinging insect bites, the situation becomes more complicated. Penetration of the sting under the skin can cause a disease such as hives. In this case, spots and blisters spread throughout the body, causing the urge to itch. This pathology requires separate treatment with antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs.

If you are allergic to a wasp sting, the following symptoms may occur:

increase in body temperature,
state of weakness,
labored breathing,
nausea,
dizziness.

In severe cases, loss of consciousness may occur. Bites on the face and neck are more difficult to bear. If a sting puncture occurs in the area of the eye, this place becomes very swollen and the eye does not open for a long time.

What to process

In order to relieve itching after a wasp sting, there are many different ways. Depending on what tools are available to you, you can use:

medicines;
special anti-bite remedies;
folk methods.

Folk remedies

There are many simple ways to get rid of itching after stinging insect bites. In order to neutralize toxic substances trapped under the skin, you can use the natural acid contained in various fruits. At the same time, the pH (acid-base balance) will change and the itching will decrease. Since in the summer there are a lot of fruits and plants at hand in nature or at the dacha, the wound can be treated with:

apples, lemon, orange;
tomatoes;
plants.

You need to cut the fruit at hand and apply a piece of the fruit to the wound. The fruit acid contained in the juice will get inside and neutralize the effects of toxins. This should be done immediately after the puncture, before the wound heals. You can also use plants that are in the garden and medicinal herbs. These include:

parsley,
onion,
plantain,
aloe,
dandelion.

These plants contain folic and other beneficial acids that affect the poison and change the pH of the skin. To get rid of itching, you can make herbal compresses or make decoctions.

Parsley juice perfectly relieves itching and stops the inflammatory process. The plant needs to be crushed and applied to the sore spot. You can also do this with onions and plantain. This will relieve swelling, reduce swelling and itching.

A plant such as aloe is known for its medicinal qualities. You need to select a fleshy leaf, rinse it well, and cut it lengthwise. The pulp is applied to the bite site for some time. Aloe has antibacterial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Applying crushed dandelion leaves and roots to the wound helps a lot. A decoction is made from tansy and string, which copes well with allergic reactions of the body. The composition can be used as a compress or drunk half a glass three times a day.

Effective remedies for wasp bites are available substances such as soda and vinegar. They have a bactericidal and disinfecting effect, and relieve swelling and itching well. Half a teaspoon of baking soda should be dissolved in 200 ml of boiled water. Stir well and apply a cloth soaked in liquid to the wound. You can also wipe the stung area with a 9% vinegar solution or apply a compress.

Medicines

You can purchase various antihistamine gels and ointments at the pharmacy. These remedies effectively relieve itching and burning from a bite and eliminate swelling. Among the popular drugs:

Fenistil gel (can be used even for infants).
Hydrocortisone ointment - this product relieves itching and rashes. Can be used to eliminate allergic reactions that begin after exposure to toxins.
Menovazan - designed to relieve symptoms after an attack by stinging insects. Anesthetizes and relieves swelling, relieves itching.

Ointments and creams are applied in a thin layer to the affected area several times a day, in accordance with the instructions. In addition to external remedies, you can relieve itching with tablets. These include Tavegil, Suprastin, etc.

Special preparations

There are a lot of specially developed products that effectively eliminate the consequences of insect bites. Various creams, aerosols and foams can be bought in household chemical departments and pharmacies. They can be used not only after an attack by wasps, but also other stinging insects: mosquitoes, midges, etc. These include:

Balms and sprays from Gardex. Can be used for children over one year of age. The products contain extracts from medicinal herbs. Effectively relieves itching, swelling, rashes.

In addition to using the above remedies, cold compresses help relieve swelling and inflammation. You can apply ice or just a cloth soaked in cold water to the affected area.

When leaving for nature, make sure that you have some antihistamines on hand. Do not provoke wasp stings by waving your arms. These insects do not attack just like that, they react to the behavior of humans and animals.

First aid

Usually, few people know what to do if a wasp stings , especially if the person suffers from bronchial asthma or dermatitis. If first aid is not provided in a timely manner, such victims may experience an allergic reaction in the form of Quincke's edema with ensuing unpleasant consequences.

So, if a person is bitten by a wasp, it is necessary:

rinse the affected area well;
disinfect the wound;
to prevent the sorption of aspen poison, a salt compress should be applied;
to prevent swelling, it is recommended to take an antihistamine;
you need to drink a lot of fluids;
To relieve severe pain, you should take an analgesic.

Create a favorable environment and drink plenty of fluids

A person with progressive swelling and redness of the tissues after a wasp sting is afraid that he may suffocate and die, especially if the bite is localized on the face or mucous membranes. Against the backdrop of panic and fright, the situation can worsen, so the main task of the person providing emergency first aid is to create a calm, favorable environment:

provide access to fresh air;
unbutton your shirt collar and remove tight clothing;
give some sweet, iced tea to drink – it’s important not hot, so as not to increase tissue swelling!

The child is offered drinks in large quantities to reduce the effect of wasp poison on the body.

First aid

A wasp can bite almost anywhere: in a store, in the yard, in nature or in the country, on a river or in the city center. There are no restrictions on living or moving; this persistent insect can even fly under clothes or into a bag, and at the most inopportune moment it can cause great pain. Later in the article you will learn what actions are taken in case of a wasp sting.

Initial processing

It is necessary, the faster, the better to leave the place where the bite was committed - some part of the path will have to be walked very slowly. The burning sensation will be strong, but you should refrain from sudden movements with your hands. Do not try to neutralize the wasp under any circumstances: the entire colony may come to its aid. Upon arriving home, the wound should be disinfected with an alcohol-containing solution, hydrogen peroxide, or, in extreme cases, carefully washed with water and baby soap.

These are the first manipulations that must be performed immediately after an insect attack. Something cold, a so-called compress, should be applied to the place where the swelling has formed. This should prevent the wound from swelling to gigantic proportions, and also slow down the movement of the poison throughout the body.

The most common aspirin is suitable as a medicine: it can be taken either orally or as a compress. To do this, you need to dissolve the tablet in a small amount of water and anoint the bite area. This will relieve pain within a few hours, reduce inflammation and prevent any other side effects.

Allergic complications after a wasp sting

People who are allergic to insect bites should always have a special passport with them in case there are no close people nearby who know about the problem. The passport indicates the personal data of the allergy sufferer, quick-acting medications, which should always be in a personal first aid kit and accompany him in dangerous places (dacha, park, meadow, beach, outdoor catering places):

ampoules of prednisolone, adrenaline, ephedrine for injection;
syringes, alcohol, cotton wool;
antihistamines (Suprastin, Tavegil, Claritin);
diphenhydramine to relieve an allergic reaction;
"Cordiamine" drops to normalize blood pressure.

Before the ambulance arrives, the bitten person is placed under a blanket with warm heating pads and is not left unattended. If you are allergic to insect bites, the victim may experience anaphylactic shock, which is accompanied by difficulty breathing, swelling of the soft tissues of the mouth, larynx and neck, dizziness, nausea and - in severe cases - cardiac arrest.

Drinking alcohol after wasp stings is contraindicated, as strong drinks increase swelling and worsen the general condition.

How dangerous are bees?

These are wild and very persistent insects that can bite their prey more than once, since during the first attack they do not lose their sting, like bees. It is almost impossible to neutralize the wasp during an attack, and waving your arms will lead to even greater aggressiveness.

Consequences of bites

Bees very often, due to the lack of normal food, feed on landfills, prey on flies, spiders, caterpillars and other types of insects. During the digestion of food, a huge amount of concentrated poison accumulates in the body, which, among other things, can be infected with infections. A person bitten by insects, but having a good, calm immune system, will cope with the poison, the swelling will quickly go away and no trace will remain.

But a person with increased sensitivity, even after a wasp bite on any finger, may experience anaphylactic shock. After this, you should no longer hesitate and immediately contact the nearest hospital; in such cases, only special medications can help. Rapidly spreading swelling on the face, neck and mucous membrane can be fatal - you need to be extremely careful with this.

Localize the bite site

Many people, regardless of age and status, very often ask, what does a wasp sting look like? In principle, determining the place where the insect stung is not difficult, but it is much more difficult to recognize that it was a wasp. In the first few minutes, the wound site looks identical, but after a while everything becomes clear:

There is no sting in the wound.
The skin begins to itch very much.
Quite extensive redness.
The bite site may become very swollen.

People with allergies, asthma, or diabetes may experience shortness of breath, malaise, lightheadedness, or dizziness. A sharp deterioration in the condition can lead to vomiting, fever and even convulsions.

If the victim has been bitten by wasps more than once in the past, and there is a predisposition to allergies, you should immediately go to the hospital.

In such cases, delaying is very dangerous for life; complications after such a meeting can be very different. Rest assured, the sooner medical assistance is provided, the better for the victim. Home remedies can only help with mild bites, which are unlikely to lead to such side effects.

What should you not do if you are stung by a wasp?

After being stung by a wasp, many people begin to intensively rub the sting site in order to reduce the burning and itching. Such actions are not recommended, as they provoke the distribution of the poison under the skin and its rapid absorption into the systemic bloodstream. To reduce itching and burning, you can place the bite area under cold running water.

It is not recommended to try to pick at the bite site and squeeze out the poison from it, as this will only introduce infection into the blood and cause serious complications. You should not touch the bite site with dirty hands, especially if you are outside - this in most cases leads to infection of the wound.

If, despite all the measures taken, the swelling at the site of the wasp sting does not decrease after 2-3 days, then you should see an allergist.

Folk remedies for wasp stings

What to do if, during a wasp sting, there were no antihistamines on hand? You need to use traditional medicine recipes and improvised means that are in every home:

apply a slightly crushed leaf of plantain, dandelion, parsley to the bite site - this will help relieve itching and swelling;
make a compress of lemon juice or mint leaves, which relieves pain and swelling;
mix baking soda with water to a paste consistency and apply to the bite or make a soda water compress (1 teaspoon of soda per 1 glass of water);
apply half a cut apple, onion, clove of garlic or tomato (cut into the wound);
make a compress of grated fresh potatoes, which relieves swelling, pain and fever.

Treating the bite site with an alcohol tincture of plantain or calendula helps prevent infection. If by the evening the itching does not go away, the skin continues to itch and an allergic rash appears on it, it means that the toxins of the poison are poorly removed from the body. It is necessary to prepare an infusion of parsley roots or string leaves in a thermos and take it throughout the day, while increasing the rate of fluid intake. If you have multiple bites from several insects, you should not rely on folk remedies; you must take antihistamine tablets and visit a doctor.

Wasps are most dangerous in July and August, when the smells from canned fruit compotes, juices and jams attract them in large numbers to human habitation.

How to prevent a wasp bite in the hot season?

This question remains relevant for every person, since with the arrival of heat, poisonous insects become more active.

As a rule, wasps sting only when they sense danger from a person, so to prevent a bite you cannot:

wave your arms and drive away wasps;
trying to escape from a wasp flying after you - it is best to freeze in place and not make sudden movements;
do not touch wasp nests and do not try to check whether a wasp that is in a motionless state is alive.

If you find that a wasp is climbing on your clothes or body, you should carefully quickly shake off the insect and step aside.

During the hot season, you should be careful when eating berries, fruits, ice cream and drinking sweet drinks, especially on the street. Often bites are provoked by accidental contact with a wasp that was sitting on a glass of drink, crawling on fruits and berries, and the person did not notice it.

If you are going to the beach or outdoor recreation, be sure to treat exposed skin and clothing with special creams or repellent sprays - they repel insects and protect against possible bites.

First aid: how to relieve pain and alleviate the condition at home

After a wasp sting, you need to provide first aid to the person, even if he feels absolutely normal.

Take the victim to a safe place where wasps cannot appear. Crushed insects release substances that encourage other members of the swarm to attack the bitten person. Therefore, under no circumstances should wasps be pressed, especially on yourself.
Examine the bite site for the presence of a stinger. Perhaps the offender was not a wasp, but a bee, and then it will stick out in the wound. In addition, if you swat an insect, the sting may also remain at the site of the bite. Try to pull it out immediately, and it is advisable to use clean tools for this.
Apply a sour fruit to the wound: a slice of apple, tomato, lemon or orange. The acid will help neutralize some of the wasp poison, and the symptoms will be less severe.
Use antiseptic agents to disinfect the wound. Alcohol, vodka, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, brilliant green, cologne, calendula tincture, and laundry soap are suitable. You can also crush an aspirin tablet, moisten it with water and apply the resulting mixture to the wound. Antibacterial treatment is very important, since the wasp’s body may contain microbes that are dangerous to humans. Getting into the wound, they only aggravate the condition of the bitten person. In addition, if a wasp bites a small child, he can scratch the bite site and introduce an infection there. For the same reason, it is better not to swim on the day of the bite, especially in open water.
Cover the wound with a sterile bandage and place a cold object on top: ice, the contents of the freezer, a metal object. A clean cloth soaked in cold water or baking soda solution will also work.
If you are bitten in the arm or leg, apply a tight tourniquet above the bite site: the poison will not spread throughout the body, as a result of which you will be able to avoid severe intoxication.
If you are prone to allergies, give the victim an antihistamine. The sooner he takes the medicine, the better: the rapid entry of antihistamines into the body can block the allergic reaction in the bud. In the future, you can simultaneously use topical medications: hydrocortisone ointment, Fenistil gel, etc.
Try to ensure that the victim drinks as much water as possible: with its help, toxins will be eliminated from the body faster. Boiled, spring or mineral water, sweet weak or herbal tea are suitable for this purpose. But it’s better not to drink milk: it can worsen the condition.

To relieve swelling, apply ice or another cold object to the bite site.

What to do before doctors arrive in case of anaphylactic shock

If, despite all the measures, a person becomes increasingly worse, allergic reactions appear, and it becomes difficult for him to breathe, he should immediately go to the doctor. However, the ambulance may be late if the victim develops anaphylactic shock, so you will have to act independently and immediately.

Remove the victim from tight clothing that makes breathing difficult.
Fill the syringe with 1 ml of adrenaline and inject 0.5 ml of the medicine into the shoulder. Close the syringe and set aside the remaining dose.
In another syringe, draw 3 ml of Dexamethasone (3 ampoules) and inject the entire dose into the second arm.
If the victim gets worse, inject the remaining 0.5 ml of adrenaline.
Make sure that the patient takes the antihistamine with plenty of water.
Transport the victim to a medical facility. If on the way he begins to choke again, administer another 3 ml of Dexamethasone.

If anaphylactic shock develops at lightning speed, you can inject adrenaline directly through clothing. Auto-injectors already filled with medicine are very convenient for this purpose. You just need to remove the cap and press the device firmly against the victim’s thigh for 5 seconds.

Epinephrine auto-injector can save lives

First aid for a bee sting

If a sting is visible in the bitten area, it is a bee sting.

What to do first:

1. Remove the sting.

Remove the sting using tweezers, a needle or a pin, previously disinfected. If you don’t have either one at hand, you can try to pull out the sting with your nails, after thoroughly washing your hands and treating them with an antiseptic (peroxide, alcohol).

2. Treatment of the bite.

Antiseptics for treating a bee sting site:

peroxide;
ammonia solution;
iodine;
brilliant green;
alcohol,;
furatsilina;
chlorhexedine;
regular soap.

3. After a bee sting? Further actions are identical to those expected after a wasp bite. The wound should be treated with antihistamine/antiseptic ointment or saline solution. If swelling occurs, it is recommended to take an antiallergic drug (suprastin, cetrin, claritin, tavegil, etc.).

For a bee sting, first aid can be provided using folk remedies. So, a compress of grated young potatoes relieves swelling and itching well. Also, if you refrigerate olive oil, you will get an excellent remedy for relieving the symptoms of a bee sting, which should be made into a compress and applied to the swelling.

First aid for a child being stung by a bee includes mandatory use of an antiallergic drug and contacting a doctor as soon as possible. Remember that a child’s body is many times more prone to developing allergic reactions. If you notice worsening breathing, hoarseness, or blistering on your child's skin, call an ambulance immediately.

What to drink

For severe swelling, which is accompanied by severe itching and redness, it is recommended to take antihistamines:

Cetrin;
Loratadine;
Eden;
Diazolin;
Diphenhydramine;
Suprastin;
Tavegil.

3-4 hours after the bite, the wound is treated with antihistamine ointment or gel, such as Fenistil, Psilo-Balm or Bepanten. “Panthenol” or “Rescuer” will do. Hormonal drugs like Diprosalik or Fluorocort help, but they have more contraindications and side effects.

It is not recommended to get carried away with antihistamine tablets. Some drugs cannot be taken for stomach ulcers, others for epilepsy, so before use you need to spend 5 minutes studying the instructions.

People stung by a wasp experience not only swelling, but also other symptoms:

headache;
temperature increase;
nausea;
weakness.

This means that the insect entered a large blood vessel, and the toxins spread throughout the body. A person should drink mineral or filtered water so that the body can quickly cleanse itself of poison. Sorbents such as activated carbon, Regidron or Enterosgel, as well as Smecta are useful.

Apply a gauze swab soaked in cool water with salt or sugar to the swelling. The product draws out toxins, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood.
