Insect Bites & Stings

What you can do:

•For wasp stings, bathe the area in vinegar.
•For bee stings, remove the sting and bathe the area in baking soda and water mixture.
•Rub calamine lotion or other soothing creams on the area.

Serious stings are rare.  They happen if you are allergic to bee or wasp stings or you are stung on the tongue or throat.  Some people can be severely allergic to insect bites or stings.

If you have a severe allergic reaction, call 999 for an ambulance
