Description
Everyone has
had the experience of a bee sting or an insect bite. It is usually
just
annoying, painful, or inconvenient, putting a damper on a perfect
outing or
picnic. Sometimes it can cause a severe allergic reaction or anaphylactic shock.
Symptoms
Redness,
swelling, and itching occur after the bite, sometimes with burning
or stinging
pain. Hives, difficulty breathing, and shock may occur with
severe
anaphylactic reactions. Signs of anaphylactic shock are paleness, perspiration,
confusion or unconsciousness, rapid pulse, and shallow, irregular breathing.
Complications
Occasionally
the person who is bitten or stung can have a severe allergic or
anaphylactic
reaction, which can be life-threatening. This may occur from
a second
bite or sting when there was not much reaction to the first one.
Get medical
attention immediately if the bite is from a poisonous insect or
spider, or
if there is difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or loss of consciousness.
Consult a
physician if you think the person may have been exposed
to Lyme
disease; a red circle resembling a target around the site of a
deer tick
bite is one early symptom. Antibiotics may be necessary to avoid
later
complications of heart and muscle or joint disease.
Homeopathic Medicine
*The first
medicine to give if there is swelling is Apis.
*For bee
stings, give Apis.
*For bites with terrific itching, consider
Caladium.
*For most insect bites, first try Ledum.
*For wasp
stings, Vespa is the first choice.
Use Apis if
Vespa is not available.
* throat is
closing up and having trouble
breathing." Carbolic acid.
