First aid for poisonous insect bites

Poisonous insect bites mainly include: centipede bites, scorpion stings, leech bites, caterpillar stings, etc.

First aid measures

1. Centipede bites. The wound is a pair of small holes, and the venom flows into the wound, causing local redness and swelling. The venom of centipedes is acidic and can be neutralized with alkaline liquid. Immediately rinse with 5-10% baking soda water or soap and water, lime water, and do not use iodine. Then apply concentrated alkaline water or 3% ammonia water.

2. Scorpion stings. There is a sharp hook on the scorpion's tail, which is connected to a pair of venom glands. When a scorpion stings, the venom flows into the wound. If the sting is on the limbs, you can wrap a tourniquet above the wound, pull out the venom hook, grind alum into a paste with rice vinegar, and apply it to the wound. If necessary, ask a doctor to cut the wound open and extract the venom.

3. Leech bites. If bitten by a leech, do not panic and pull hard. Instead, use your palm or the sole of your shoe to slap it hard. After a violent shock, the leech's suction cup and jaws will naturally release. Leeches are very afraid of salt. Sprinkle some salt on it or drop a few drops of salt water, and it will immediately shrink and fall off.

4. Caterpillar stings: If you are stung by a caterpillar, you can use adhesive tape to remove the poisonous hairs.

Precautions

1. If you experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, fever, or coma after being bitten by a poisonous insect, you should go to the hospital immediately.

2. After being bitten by centipedes or caterpillars, urticaria or blisters often form on the bitten skin. For urticaria, you can first wipe the skin dry with alcohol, and then apply 1% ammonia water; if there are blisters, do not scratch them with your hands because of itching, but use a burned needle to puncture the blisters, squeeze out the blood, and then apply 1% ammonia water.

You should immediately tie a handkerchief, cloth belt or rope 3-5 cm above the wound (near the heart), pull out the poison hook, and squeeze and suck as much as possible to squeeze out the blood containing toxins from the wound. If necessary, ask a doctor to cut the wound open to absorb the venom to prevent the blood contaminated by scorpion venom from flowing into the heart. Use both hands to squeeze the wound hard around the wound until the blood is squeezed out. Then apply some strong soapy water or alkaline water to the wound. Wash the wound with 3% ammonia water, 5% soda water or 0.5% potassium permanganate, or grind alum into a paste with vinegar and apply it on the wound. You can use "Nantong snake medicine tablets" mixed with cold water into a paste, and apply it in a circle 2 cm away from the wound (do not let the medicine enter the wound). After the wound is properly treated, the bandage can be loosened; according to the situation, some antibiotics can be used preventively. Those with severe poisoning and children should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. The following medicines can also be used for external application: ① Alum, grind it into fine powder and apply it with rice vinegar; ② Realgar and alum are equal in amount, grind it into fine powder, and apply it with tea; ③ Isatis indigo leaf, purslane, and mint leaves are mashed and applied externally.

The tail of a scorpion has a hooked stinger that is connected to the venom gland. When it stings, the venom enters the wound. Scorpion venom contains toxic proteins, mainly neurotoxins, hemolytic toxins, hemorrhagic toxins, and toxins that cause heart and blood vessel contraction. Scorpion stings often cause large areas of redness, swelling, and severe pain. In mild cases, the symptoms disappear after a few days, but in severe cases, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, muscle rigidity, salivation, headaches, dizziness, lethargy, night sweats, increased breathing, and even convulsions, internal bleeding, edema, and other lesions may occur. After a child is stung, severe cases may die from respiratory and circulatory failure. The treatment method for scorpion stings is basically the same as that for poisonous snake bites. If stung on the limbs, immediately cover the wound with a handkerchief, cloth belt or rope about 2 to 3 cm above the wound (near the heart end), pull out the poison hook at the same time, and use methods such as squeezing and sucking to squeeze out the blood containing toxins from the wound as much as possible. If necessary, ask the doctor to cut the wound to absorb the venom, and then wash the wound with 3% ammonia water, 5% soda water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, or grind alum and mix it with vinegar to make a paste and apply it on the wound. You can also use "Nantong Snake Tablets" to make a paste with cold water, and apply it in a circle 2 cm away from the wound (do not let the medicine enter the wound). After the wound is properly treated, the bandage can be loosened; according to the situation, some antibiotics can be used preventively. Those with severe poisoning and children should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
