[Emergency treatment for wasp stings]
When stung by a wasp, because its venom is alkaline, it should be neutralized with acidic liquid, such as vinegar or breast milk applied to the affected area to relieve pain and itching.
1. The remaining venom stinger in the wound can be removed with a needle or forceps, but do not squeeze it to prevent the remaining toxins from entering the body. Then use a cupping jar to extract the venom and reduce toxin absorption. Applying ice cubes to the sting can alleviate pain and swelling.
2. Apply lemon juice, orange juice, or fruit juice to the sting. Single-flavored purslane is effective for treating wasp stings. Trying onion paste can also have a certain effect.
3. In addition, breast milk, medicated oil, cooling oil, and Pi Yan Ping can be used to remove wasp venom. Remember not to use red medicine or iodine to apply, as it will not only fail to treat the sting, but also worsen the swelling.
