How To Soothe An Insect Sting

Health And Fitness : Alternative Health

By definition an insect sting can - well - sting!

So how do you soothe it?

The first thing to do is ensure that you remove the skin by brushing sideways, never applying downward pressure.

Once gone the best thing to do is get an ice pack and apply.

Try to raise the position of whatever area of the body has been stung, for instance an arm.

Then get a cream specifically for stings to stop inflammation or pain.

If you have any sort of reaction then make sure you get medical advice immediately.
