Home Remedies to Treat Insect Bites

Nearly everywhere you live on the planet, some tiny creatures and insects will sting you or bite you. They either see you as a threat or a food source for their survival.

Commonly, stings from insects are bees, ants, and wasps. Their sting penetrates the skin injecting poison into your body.

While ants and bees can sting you multiple times, a honeybee only stings once. It leaves its stinger underneath your skin, with a sack of venom at the surface. It is tempting to panic and wipes it off with your hands, but this will only make the venom worse.

It's quite painful and shock-inducing. You can keep your cool and slide your finger under the sac to remove the sting. The edge of a knife or your bank's edge could be used to remove the sting.

An allergic reaction to a bee sting or a wasp bite can be fatal. Medical attention must be sought immediately.

An allergic reaction is characterized by hives, swelling of the throat and mouth, rapid heartbeat, and laboured breathing.

If you get many stings or bites but don't have an allergy, you should seek medical attention immediately. We will assume that you were stung once.
