However, the two most dangerous spiders in the U.S. are the brown recluse spider and the black widow. The best way to avoid spider bites is to avoid warm, dark places like attics, cellars, garages and storage sheds. Children should also try to avoid spider webs, either indoors or outdoors. Seek immediate medical attention if children experience prolonged pain after a spider bite. Bees, Wasps, and Hornets Bee, wasp, hornet and yellow-jacket stings usually cause pain, redness and swelling within two hours of the sting.
Honey bees leave behind their stinging sac and venom sac.
Parents need to gently remove the stinger as soon as possible to decrease painful symptoms. The stinger should be scraped out horizontally with a fingernail or knife, and ice should be applied to the area. It's important not to squeeze the sack with tweezers as this will cause more venom to be injected into the skin. Allergic reactions to bee stings generally occur within a few minutes of the sting and include skin flushing, rash, chest or throat tightness, nausea, vomitting, abdominal pain, rapid heart-rate and faintness. This requires immediate medical attention.
