【Emergency treatment for yellow wasp stings】
If stung by a yellow wasp, because its venom is alkaline, it needs to be neutralized with acidic liquid. Applying vinegar or human milk to the affected area can relieve pain and itching.
1. Use a needle or tweezers to remove the remaining venomous sting from the wound, but do not squeeze it to avoid the remaining toxins from entering the body. Then use a suction cup to extract the venom, reducing the absorption of toxins. Applying ice cubes to the sting can reduce pain and swelling.

2. Use lemon, orange juice, or other fruit juice to apply to the sting. Simple Portulaca oleracea is effective in treating hornet stings. Applying onion paste can also have a certain effect.
3. In addition, breast milk, wind oil, cooling oil, Piyinping, and other substances can be used to remove bee venom. Remember not to use red medicine or iodine to apply, as it will not only not treat the sting but also worsen the swelling.
