Insects usually do not attack if they are not to provoke. They defend! If a child accidentally stepped on an ant hill, and began to swing his blade, driving a bee, wasp or bumblebee... But there are those who bite purposefully, usually wanting to eat. Such krovopiyca are notorious mosquitoes and ticks. Let's talk about each in more detail.

It stings quite poisonous. Children with allergies, its venom can cause serious reactions. But not only wasp dangerous, it consists of bumblebees, hornets.

After their bites baby feels a sharp pain on the skin, redness and swelling. Often there are common reactions: a little chilly, it is sluggish, and even vomiting. In this case, immediately call an ambulance! And while she rides, pour with water to dilute the poison and quickly expel it from the body.
If the reaction is limited cutaneous manifestations (as often happens), then give the baby antihistamine drug in a dosage of age. And again: excess fluids him now won't hurt. To neutralize the remnants of the poison will help compress of a weak solution of vinegar.




It is important to remember that wasps can inflict multiple bites in a row, because they do not lose their sting like bees. So do everything in order to neutralize the wasp, swirling around the baby.

The poison of this insect is not so toxic for the child's body as a wasp. Moreover, it is possible that he does not get into the bloodstream of the child or will be available in small quantities.




A bee sting feels like a wasp. The kid is hurt, he cries. Try not to panic and look at the bite location. If you see sticking out the stinger by gently get his nails (perfect to do it with tweezers). Do not rush, not to crush poisonous bag.

If the skin there is swelling and severe redness, you can not give the child antihistamines, but compress, as in the case of wasps necessary.
