Stings - Redness



The signs of summer

Summer is finally here and we try to take advantage of every opportunity with family outings to nearby beaches or short excursions. However, so that the carefree and pleasant moments do not turn into a nightmare due to the bites of the feathered visitors lurking in the outdoor areas, it is good to know how to deal with any bite immediately.

Mosquitoes

Only the female mosquito, which needs blood to develop the protein coat of its eggs, causes bites, unlike male mosquitoes, which are limited to sucking on nectar or other sugar-rich sources (eg. eg rotten fruit). The movements we make with our hands to move them away from us have the opposite effect, since they actually allow the mosquito to locate us. When mosquitoes suck blood, they leave saliva under the skin, which contains an anticoagulant cocktail so they can… feed undisturbed. Immediately the human body reacts by producing histamine, which causes itching and redness as a result of an allergic reaction. These symptoms pass by themselves, without requiring special treatment. There are herbal lotions with special compositions of propolis, aloe, chamomile and other ingredients, in various forms (emulsion, spray or lotion) that immediately soothe the annoying symptoms of the bite, while relieving irritation, itching, redness, swelling and more.

Wasps and Bees

Wasps are more aggressive than bees and capable of repeated stings, unlike bees, which leave their stinger in our skin and cannot reuse it. Bee or wasp stings cause a local inflammatory skin reaction that is the result of the poison that enters our body with the insect's sting. These bites, apart from being quite painful, are not life-threatening unless the person is allergic, in which case they should be given a cortisone injection by a specialist. First carefully remove the stinger from the skin with sterile eyebrow tweezers or some venom suction device, then apply ice (wrapped in a towel) to the site. Ice provides relief while also causing vasoconstriction, preventing the insect's venom from spreading to the rest of the body. To relieve the bee sting, we can use ammonia. Accordingly, for a wasp sting, vinegar or lemon is indicated, not ammonia.

Jellyfish Sting

There are many types of jellyfish in the Greek seas, but not all of them "sting". Some of them have in their tentacles the so-called nematocysts, which contain a toxin that when it comes into contact with the skin is released creating a local rash, itching, swelling and pain, symptoms that can last several hours. However, there is no need to worry, as stings from stingrays are usually not dangerous. Your first concern after being stung is to flush the area with plenty of cool water. For immediate relief you can apply a special cream or lotion and place some ice wrapped in a towel on the swelling.

To avoid sudden upsets on your summer holiday, always have a post-sting product in the family beach bag. Find the best at your favorites Pharmasept, A.Vogel, Korres, Medisei, Jungle, Cer'8 , Repel and Power Health.
