Question

what happens during a WASP sting what is its remedy

Answer 1

Hi,

Here is the answer for your question.......

Wasps are equipped with a stinger as a means of self-defense. A wasp’s stinger contains venom that’s transmitted to humans during a sting. However, even without a lodged stinger, wasp venom can cause significant pain and irritation.

Treating wasp stings / Remedies

1. Wash the sting area with soap and water to remove as much of the venom as possible.

2. Apply a cold pack to the wound site to reduce swelling and pain.

3. Keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection.

4. Cover with a bandage if desired.

Place an icepack on the sting to relieve pain and swelling. Calamine lotion may also help if there is itching or skin irritation that becomes more difficult. Baking soda can be applied on the wound which will soothe the skin .

Thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

A paste of baking soda and a little water can also break down or neutralise the venom. as with the meat tenderiser, apply it to the sting area and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. A cool, wet tea bag can help fight inflammation and reduce swelling. Run it under cold water and apply to your skin for 15 to 20 minutes.
