What to do if you get stung by a wasp? Introduction to the correct treatment methods

The "eight-rack" is what we commonly call the caterpillar, usually hiding in tree trunks or leaves, and it is very easy to get stung by a caterpillar. What should you do if you accidentally get stung by an eight-rack? Take a look at some emergency response measures.

1. What to do if you get stung by an eight-rack?

First observe under a magnifying glass, use a blade to scrape out the venomous hairs in the direction of the hairs, then apply 3% ammonia water to the affected area. You can also apply Nantong snake medicine externally to the affected area, or mash Paris polyphylla or fresh purslane and apply it externally. If the wound becomes ulcerated, apply an antibiotic ointment. If there are systemic symptoms, go to the hospital promptly for symptomatic treatment.

2. Foods to avoid while the wound heals

1. Patients whose wounds are healing should not consume soy sauce, as it may cause the wound to leave a scar.

2. Patients whose wounds are healing should not eat spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers. These foods easily cause internal heat and can lead to wound inflammation.

3. Patients whose wounds are healing should not eat edible fungi, such as mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. These foods are mostly high-protein foods, and eating too much can easily cause liver heat. People who usually have symptoms such as headache and dizziness should eat as little as possible.

4. Patients whose wounds are healing should not eat seafood and fishy foods, such as ribbonfish, yellow croaker, pomfret, clam meat, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products. Most of them are cold in nature and fishy, and they affect wound healing to a certain extent.

5. Patients whose wounds are healing should not eat fruits such as peaches and apricots. Eating too much of these fruits easily causes internal heat, and eating too many apricots can easily harm the tendons and bones; both can affect wound healing to a certain extent.

6. Patients whose wounds are healing should not eat foods such as chicken head, chicken wings, chicken feet, goose meat, and pig head meat. These foods easily trigger liver heat, thereby affecting wound healing.

3. What can you eat while the wound heals?

1. You can eat light dishes such as tofu, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, green beans, peanuts, liangfen, green radish, white radish, bean sprouts, cucumber, Chinese yam, vermicelli, cabbage, snake melon, yuba, and long beans.

2. Pig trotters are rich in zinc and collagen. Zinc deficiency can reduce fibroblast function. Supplementing more collagen can promote the speed of wound healing.

3. Sea bass is rich in easily digestible protein, fat, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron, selenium, and more. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sea bass is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, tonifying the liver and kidneys, and relieving cough and reducing phlegm.

Getting stung by an eight-rack will make you both painful and itchy, which is very uncomfortable, so it is best to be careful and try not to get stung.
