ON GETTING STUNG
The How, What and When to Do
In Case Of Bee Sting

Ever get Stung? Or rather
who hasn't" says the State
Board of Health, both with
bees and otherwise. Hurts like
the mischief don't it. both get
ting stung by bees and getting
stung otherwise, For either kind
of getting stung," prevention
is better than cure and disere-
ton is the best part of valor,
Tact, diplomacy and good
judgement will ward off many
instances of getting stung" in
the social world as we'll as in the
insect world. We offer no pana-
cea or remedy for the former but
for the latter, seriously speaking,
much can be done.
The first impulse in the case
of an insect sting is to strike the
offending insect and in doing so
in most cases we usually tear
the insect away from its sting
leaving the sting in the flesh. 1t
is the irritating poison on the
sting that hurts so badly and
causes such swelling so the very
first thing to do is to remove the
sting it left in the flesh. Us a
knife point or needle for this
purpose. Then don't scratch or
rub the sting. That only makes
bad matters worse. Add a few
drops of weak ammonia or spirits
of camphor or ordinary tincture
of iodine as quickly as possible.
The poison from hornet stings
is soluble in alcohol and therefore
if the spot be gently bathed or
washed in alcohol some relief is
obtained.
Finally if ammonia, camphor,
iodine or alcohol are not avail
able, gently rubbing a piece of
wet soap over the sting helps the
situation out somewhat. AL
ways remember, however, that
the most important first aid is to
remove the offending sting and
that prevention is better than
cure.
