Treatment review of an unexpected wasp sting accident

Yesterday on my way to work, I was involved in a car accident.

I opened it to update the electronic display on my way to work, but...

Wow, I found out that wasp nests were built inside.

 

 

While returning from the hospital after treatment, I noticed traces of larvae at the spot where the pests were exterminated;;;; The hive has already been destroyed, so I couldn't take a picture. I wanted to keep it as a memento;;;

   

 

These are photos taken shortly after being stung by a bee... The very first photo shows the unstung wrist... It appears smooth and wrinkle-free.

Overall, I have a fever and swelling.

 

At the moment the hive opens, the inside turns bright yellow through the wires? Just then, bees pour out in a swarm~~ attacking my arms all at once;;;;;;

I've never been stung by a bee in my life, but I got stung all at once in one shot.

Although I was utterly shocked, I tried to protect my face even in the midst of surprise, sacrificing my right arm.

I got my face back, but my right arm is all swollen~~ I got bitten.

Fortunately, it wasn't a large hive, so I wasn't continuously attacked, only a few security guards were attacked, so I hurried to the office, used a card to slantingly remove the stingers.

I brought an ice pack and applied it to reduce the swelling.

Actually, I am a certified first aid instructor~~~ ^^

I quickly found Zyrtec at the health office and took one tablet.

The office staff were more surprised than I was and were completely flustered;;;;;

Since students are present, the facility supervisor quickly arrived and safely removed the hive and bees.

I took allergy medication and knew I wasn't allergic to bee stings, so I didn't really want to go to the hospital...

They insisted I must go to the hospital, so I visited the hospital as well...

The areas I was bitten on while going to the hospital swelled up quite a bit.

One spot is where the blood vessels pass through, so it swelled more;;

Anyway, I checked my temperature, received medical treatment, and even had my blood pressure taken at the hospital, but I think I don't need to get the injection.

I only received a prescription for allergy medication and ointment.

Solondojeong, Beporionjeong, Topisol Micro Lotion like this~~~

These are hormones and allergy-related medications~~

 

 

 

 

I have quite severe side effects from allergy medication, and I tend to lose my mind and fall asleep.

Because I was confused after visiting the hospital, I foolishly took my morning medication.

I wasn't in my right mind during lunch;;;;;;;; I ended up asking for understanding and fainted at the health office, then seemed to wake up near the end of my shift;;;

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Still, after sleeping and waking up, the swelling has significantly gone down. I praise myself for not having bee sting allergy, haha.

I was proud of myself for recovering quickly.

This is a photo from this morning when I applied ointment... it's almost healed...

But there's a bruise next to the bitten area...

 

 

   

 

The swelling has completely gone down~~ only a bruise remains on the side...

 

The bruise will disappear over time, so it's okay, but I think the bee sting trauma will remain for a while...

Now, every time I go to update the electronic signboard, I feel like I'm going to be terrified;;;;;;;;

I'll tell you how to provide first aid when stung by a bee!!!

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Scrape the needle inserted into the skin at an angle using a thin card such as a credit card or phone card. Be careful not to touch or try to remove what is too small to see clearly with the naked eye or with tweezers, as it may go deeper. If you try to squeeze it unnecessarily, more toxins may be released.

Please wipe the affected area with water to reduce the risk of infection.

Since the pain is severe and there is swelling, it is recommended to apply cold compresses or ice packs. (Apply the compress to the affected area and surrounding area for about 10 to 15 minutes.)

Take painkillers or allergy medications (such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, Zyrtec, etc.)

Applying ointments to relieve itching or burning (such as calamine lotion or creams and gels like hydrocortisone)

It is recommended to keep clothing and accessories loose to avoid tight areas, and to regularly check the sting site for signs of infection such as pus or discharge.

Avoid stimulating the bitten area by scratching or other means.

If you have an allergic reaction or show symptoms of infection such as pain, redness, or pus, go to the hospital immediately!

In most cases, being stung by a bee causes mild or painful reactions, but some people may experience severe allergic reactions. Anaphylactic shock can cause swelling of the face or neck, dizziness, hives, or difficulty breathing. In such cases, if it is difficult to go to the hospital directly, you should quickly call 119 to request an ambulance and go to the hospital.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Anaphylactic shock

Itching, hives, redness or paleness of the face, difficulty breathing or wheezing, coughing, a feeling of chest tightness, a feeling of throat constriction, rapid or weak pulse, low blood pressure or dizziness, and sometimes dizziness or fainting may occur.

Nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea may occur, and the face, lips, tongue, and throat may also swell.

In the event of anaphylactic shock, it is an emergency situation, so immediate treatment is necessary.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

If you frequently engage in outdoor activities or have previously been stung by a bee and had a severe allergic reaction, it is recommended to carry an automatic epinephrine injector.
