What if I get stung by a wasp?

The reason why wasps can sting people is not only toxic, but also different from bees After a stinging action, the poisonous needle and internal organs were left on the stung object and died soon. The wasp's stinger is slender, has no barbs, is easy to pull out after stinging, and can escape unscathed after attacking people, so it can sting people repeatedly and will not die immediately after stinging.

In autumn and winter communication, when the average temperature is 12_ 13℃, wasps like to go out for activities most, and this time is also the peak period of wasp stinging, so how to prevent being stung by wasps? To know how to prevent it, we need to know the preferences of wasps. First look at the experimental picture below.

We found that wasps were interested in sugar water and cosmetics, but did not respond to bright towels. This is because wasps are color blind and will not attack people because of the color of clothes. Under normal circumstances, the wasp will not attack people and animals actively, but it is easy to irritate the wasp when it comes to cosmetics whose smell imitates natural flowers. If you leave sugar food and drinks uncovered when you go camping, it is easy to attract wasps. Drinking and flower cosmetics are also easy to provoke wasps.

Let's talk about how to deal with detoxification after being stung by a wasp!

Wasp venom is alkaline. To detoxify, you need to neutralize the toxin with acidic things. We should use acidic substances such as vinegar to neutralize the toxin. If you don't have vinegar on hand, carbonated drinks will do. If you are stung by a bee, use alkaline substances such as soapy water to neutralize the toxin. Don't get mixed up. If you are stung by a wasp, applying soapy water will only increase toxicity. Also, remember not to use mercuric chloride and iodine after being stung by a wasp. If the stabbing pain is serious, put a tourniquet on the wound near the heart after treatment, relax once every 15 minutes, and send it to the hospital within 2 hours.

If we find a hornet's nest at home, we can hang it on the nest with cloth strips and towels stained with pesticides if it is small, and ask the fire brigade for help if it is big. You don't know until you try, but you don't know until you try!
