Question 1: What is bee removal?
Feng Yongfeng, attending doctor of the emergency department of Haikou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Row bees are the collective name of several types of wild bees, which are divided into large rows of bees and small rows of bees, and most of the breeding are small rows of bees. Due to the migratory nature of the bees, it is difficult to carry out artificial breeding and needs to be migrated after being found in the wild. Row bees generally live on tree trunks or cliffs, and hives are built in rows, hence the name "row bees".
Question 2: What should I do if I am stung by a bee in the wild?
Feng Yongfeng, attending physician of the emergency department of Haikou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine:
1, first of all, to pull out the poison needle, so as to prevent the venom in the skin further release, do not vigorously squeeze the wound in the process of taking the poison needle, to avoid squeezing the venom into the blood to aggravate the disease.
2, after the poison needle is pulled out, the wound should be cleaned, most of the venom of the bee is acidic, and it can be disinfected with some alkaline solutions. For example, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate solution and so on. If there are some cool and anti-itching ointments around you, such as wind oil essence, cool oil, etc., you can also apply it around the wound, which is also conducive to the resolution of the rash.
3. If there are dandelions, half-sided lotuses, horse chestnut flowers, three sevens and other herbs around, you can also wash and mash these herbs and apply them to the affected area, which has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Ginger can also be mashed and applied to the wound, and white wine and vinegar can also be used to clean the wound.
4, if there is a serious allergic reaction, there are anti-allergic drugs around can be taken immediately, patients with more serious system symptoms should drink more water, drink more drinks, which can be conducive to the excretion of toxins, and then go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
5. Severe allergic reactions after being stung by bees will be life-threatening, and you must go to the hospital for treatment in time. If the patient has coma shock, the people around them should take emergency measures such as artificial respiration in time. Don't think that being stung by bees is a small problem, if the situation is serious and not dealt with in time, it will be life-threatening, so it must be taken seriously.
