1. Immediately remove the stinger after being stung. Rinse the affected area with soapy water, 10% ammonia solution, or 5% baking soda solution.
2. Apply Nantong Snake Medicine around the wound.
3. Perform a local infiltration around the wound with 0.25%–0.5% procaine.
4. Severe cases should be hospitalized and treated with antihistamines as needed. For obvious allergic reactions, adrenaline or 10% calcium gluconate may be used.
5. Administer appropriate analgesics and sedatives.
1. Local manifestations
The sting site shows redness and swelling, with a small black dot visible at the center, which is usually the puncture point or the location where the stinger remains. Surrounding areas may exhibit erysipelas-like or urticaria-like changes.
2. Systemic symptoms
Generally mild, but symptoms can be more severe when stung by multiple bees in multiple locations. Possible symptoms include dizziness, headache, shivering, fever, panting, increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, or even shock and unconsciousness.
