Remedies For
Bee Stings & Animal & Insect Bites |
| Why do they effect us? |
All animals and insects have some form of defense or protective
system. Acid poisons are exchanges when they bite
you causing a toxic acid protein reaction. Their
defensive protective protein injects into and through your skin
surface where it starts to work on your immune and protective
systems provokes an inflammatory reaction in you.
Animal and insect bites as well as bee stings are made up of
a mild acid protein. And it is this protein that causes
all the problems once injected into our bodies. One of
the quickest ways to render any mild acid protein is by chemical
neutralization. In this case it is mixing a mild base
to the effected area. In the case of animal and insect
bites and bee stings the mild base "Ammonia works the best". |

Animal bites, insect bites, bee stings can
be immediately and successfully managed with a produce called
"After Bite" or with any "Ammonia Kitchen Solution".
Animal bites, snakes bites, insect bites and bee stings inject
a mild protein acid, which can be neutralized by the application
of a mild alkaline solution, such as ammonia. Ammonia can be
found in most cleaning agents such as window cleaners but the
best is the pencil tube product called "After Bite".
After Bite neutralizes the bite or sting and eliminates the
itching. After Bite can be purchased in most local drug stores.
I have found it most helpful to have it placed in several locations
around raci41 vehicle and home. Another mild alkaline solution
is alcohol and it can be found in pencil tube applicator as
well, but it does not work as quick or is as good as ammonia.
Ceramic Magnets
N-1 and N-2 ceramic magnets work very well on insect bites or
bee stings. Use the North polar surface against the skin where
the bite is located. |
| Anaphylactic Shock |
Also see Shock
This type of shock is discussed separately because it is a condition
that must be regarded as life threatening. Anaphylactic
shock (anaphylactic reaction) occurs when a person comes in
contact with something to which he or she is extremely allergic
too. The allergic reaction causes violent reactions in a sensitized
individual and include:
1. Insect stings (bees, ants or fire ants, wasps, yellow jackets,
hornets)
2. Skin irritants (Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac, etc.)
3. Ingested substances (drugs, bad foods, fish, etc.)
4. Inhaled substances (pollens, dust, etc.)
5. Injected substances (antitoxins, drugs, etc.)
Symptoms
1. Itching and burning skin, especially about the face and chest
2. Painful constriction of the chest with difficulty in breathing
3. Dizziness
4. Restlessness
5. Nausea
Signs
1. Hives over a large area of the body or even generalized edema
2. Swelling at the local site and also can be found in the face
and tongue
3. Cyanosis visible at the lips
4. A weak or imperceptible pulse
5. Vomiting |

Emergency Care
Anaphylactic shock is a true emergency situation because it
requires (in most cases) injection of medication to combat the
allergic reaction. Initial emergency care efforts should be
direct towards life support.
1. Transport the patient to a hospital immediately. Notify the
facility by
phone or radio while in route.
If the information is available, tell the
hospital personnel the substance that caused the reaction and
the means
of contact (sting, inhalation, ingested or
injected).
2. Provide life support measures as required, including airway
maintenance, pulmonary and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Administer
oxygen and treat for shock.
If you know you are allergic to certain substances it is very
advisable that you carry the antidotes with you and let others
know about it so that they can assist you if bitten or stung.
And keep it in case you and others are able to get to it.
Prepared or not, anaphylactic shock needs immediate care. A
very effective successfully rule to guide you through a step-by-step
procedure to treat new injuries (acute) is called the "RICES-S
Rule". Each letter of the rule stands for an action or
actions you must immediately perform to successfully manage
the new injury. The management of shock is included in this
rule.
The rule is as follows:
RICES-S Rule
1. R = Rest (place the injury a state of physiological rest
& stay off of it)
2. I = Ice (apply cold therapy to the involved site)
3. I = Immobilization (movement or motion will worsen an existing
injury)
4. C = Compression (use a support wrap or elastic ace bandage)
5. E = Elevation (keep injury in a raised position allowing
gravity to help
remove the swelling and edema)
6. S = treat for body’s shifts in electrical energy caused
by the shock (see
below)
S = correctly fit a support product such
as splint, crutches, etc.
Always consult a doctor if pain and swelling continue or if
the condition doesn't make the progress you normally expect
to see or have experienced. Body Energy Shifts occur in:
1. Eating (digestive process)
2. Physiotherapy (healing response)
3. Salt bath (salt draws body fluids towards it)
4. Hot
5. Cold
6. Sleeping
7. Active/motion
Bathing or soaking with Epsom salts and Baking soda
Animal Bites and Rabies (hydrophobia)
If bitten capture the animal and take it to the health department
where they can perform specific laboratory test to establish
it the animal has rabies. |
