Q:
How to cure yellow jacket sting?
A:
Yellow jackets are different from bees in that they can sting people multiple times. And due to the venom in the stinger, the individual stung by a yellow jack can experience sudden pain and other severe problems. Here is the way to cure it.
- Apply ice on the skin.
When the skin gets red, it means it’s only a local reaction. So, after applying ice on the skin, the inflammation is probably gone.
- Use an antihistamine.
However, if there is also swelling present, the individual should take an antihistamine such as Benadryl, besides applying ice on the skin.
- Take a series of allergic shots.
In addition, when there are symptoms like abnormal breathing, it seems to be an allergic reaction. This can be serious, and the individual should go to hospital and get a series of allergic shots as soon as possible.
Please consult your doctor for more information.
