This writer, worked in a hospital in the border, had experienced many cases of
insect bite, sometimes very serious. I remember a lady who was bit by a wasp in
the decolletage, I derive a nasty bite from this inflammatory reaction with
tissue necrosis striking result was that a retraction of the fibrous skin of
anterior neck. The patient had to turn to experimental surgery to treat the
lesion in the meantime had to live on the head flexed on the trunk!
Every year during the summer months, about three million to three million
Americans and 1 million Europeans point insect bites from wasps, mosquitoes,
lice, ticks and fleas. The problem is that these stings can cause severe
systemic reactions potentially harmful and lethal for allergy sufferers.
The stings from Hymenoptera.
.... Bees, wasps, yellow wasps, hornets and ants on the vanguard dlel'esercito
insects. Usually the venom causes local reactions: pain, redness, swelling and
itching. Often leave a bee sting at the site of the bite, causing pain because
it is connected to the venom gland. Indeed, in case of puncture, with the blade
of a knife or clean flambéed (flaming) should remove the poison and remove the
venom sack. If, however, goes on the sting, it injects the poison!
Then proceed by washing thoroughly with soap and water and disinfectant, to
remove debris and bacteria that are inevitably on the sting. Do not forget that
bees are also on crap! If the needle is extended beyond 5 cm, with obvious edema
should also be given cortisone, prednisone by mouth usually is enough to prevent
dangerous reactions. If, again, the reaction becomes systemic with redness,
abdominal pain, itching, nausea and vomiting, anaphylactic shock, chest pain,
asthma weakness, the problem becomes more serious and you should request relief
and go to hospital. Anaphylactic shock may occur gradually or sometimes suddenly
and have even fatal.
For this reason, surgery is always necessary, but to prevent dangerous reactions
that follow and requires often the use of adrenaline diluted 1:1000 in between
or subcutaneously, 3 and 0.5 ml. So there should be a intravenously and maintain
airway patency and monitor vital signs. Bronchospasm can be alleviated with
intravenous theophylline and corticosteroids. In the days that followed, after
two weeks, malaise may also occur with urticaria, polyarthritis, lymphadenopathy.
Mosquitoes.
The bites of mosquitoes causing blisters with itching, hives, swelling, necrosis
of the lesions and even anaphylactoid purpura Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Allergic
reactions to substances dela mosquito saliva are particularly allergenic and
super-infected lesion. So in this case should be cleaned with soap and water and
relieve the itch with oral antihistamines and cold compresses.
.
Bloodsucking flies.
These include crisope, various types of simulators, gadfly that cause painful
reactions striking local and systemic, with local erythema and itching, with
edema. Here again water and soap, ointments of cortisone and observation for
dangerous systemic reactions.
