    Wasp stings

    indeed, Bub has a peanut allergy as well as tree buts so we try to have the Benadryl handy. Last time I got stung and my buddies Ma made me take a Benadryl it was ugly, we had been drinking beer all day and I was fast asleep within the hour, for a long spell till the next morning, maybe not...

    Wasp stings

    oops, wife told me Bub got his first bee sting yesterday. he got some bumps (little hives) fairly quickly and she gave him Benadryl which put him to sleep. Sounds like light doses of Benadryl for the next 2 to 5 days and another allergy to monitor. :(

    Yoicks. I think the one I had was Salbutimol and the other was a corticosteroid of some sort.

    Wasp stings

    Epi pen is only by prescrip here, even if you want one for your first aid kit etc (as the non patient). No one except Docs and EMS are allowed to administer medicines to patients, technically. No Epi pen, no aspirin, no nothing.

    sure, unless you like to inhale an organic paralytic neurotoxin :) sadly most of that stuff is banned here these days.

    Wasp stings

    for snakes it may be so, I never read the instructions. I assumed the blade was for shaving the affected area in order to ensure suction from the suction deals, good thing I never had to treat anyone for a snake bite!

    Wasp stings

    It is? I have used both at different times for insect bites, never once considered hacking a limb off or cutting in to one, I just put the suction part on the bite/sting and let it sit there for a minute or two. Maybe I should read the instructions, it may not be as simple as I thought.

    Wasp stings

    Burnham, I didnt know that, is it the suction deal or the tourniquet deal as MB suggests that is the treatment in question? We dont have any snakes where I live but if I head to the interior of the province there are areas with rattlers.

    Wasp stings

    I have one of these in the glovebox, didnt bother to try to use it for the wasp sting though, more of an attempt for minimizing reaction to bee stings. I have one of these in the first aid kit in the truck, you never know if it will be useful!At the very least it will give you a hella welt. lol

    Wasp stings

    camped this weekend, MANY hornets. 4 of us got tagged, one of the four got 2! no major reactions other than the cuss words at the time of the incidents. One finger (me), one shoulder, two feet and one on the wrist. Bastards.
