This is not a site to replace your doctor! Some things can be done. If the sting is on the eyelid/skin around, wash the area well. Apply antiseptic ointment like Dettol to prevent infection. See that it does not go in the eye. A non-sedative, anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory tablet may help, especially when there are multiple stings and swelling. This usually solves the problem. Sometimes, the stinger may be embedded deeper into the skin, and may take time to come out.

Yes. Epenephrine or adrenaline is usually effective at suppressing the allergic reaction immediately, although severe reactions may require a second dose. Later in the process, you may need an antihistamine like Benadryl (the over-the-counter preparation may not be strong enough). Your medical professional can help you in evaluating your need for this and obtaining it.

All female worker honey bees can only sting once. A portion of the abdomen remains with the stinger when she flies away, and she dies soon afterward. The male honey bees (drones) cannot sting.

No! Our competitors may use Benzyl Alcohol as a preservative, but we don't. (Benzyl Alcohol is notorious for causing severe stinging for some people and is not suitable for prolonged use.) We use a patented preservative that causes no problem with prolonged use and is

Bee venom therapy may cause pain, the degree of which depends on the tolerance of the patient. It is possible to lessen the pain by applying ice, a cooler tool or even a cold silver spoon onto the sting site. Bee venom solution may also be mixed with Xylocaine or Lidocaine to desensitize the affected area. Is there any method to use BVS without injecting it? Bee venom solution can be administered by electrophoresis or ultrasonophoresis.

ANSWER: Butterfly caterpillars do NOT sting! Several moth caterpillars do sting and may sting so badly you will take a trip to the doctor. You could even have scars to show after the stings heal. Please do not pick up a caterpillar if you do not know it is safe. Three moth caterpillars which sting are pictured on our Stinging Caterpillars page.

It is common for some eyedrops to burn or sting. You should continue to use your eyedrops as prescribed. However, if your discomfort seems to be worsening, or you experience a decrease in vision, call your eye doctor at our Florida practice. Some patients find that using â??artificial tearsâ?? five minutes before placing medicated drops in the eye decreases irritation.

That would be telling, wouldn't it? Colonel Saunders never listed his 11 secret herbs and spices, and we are not going to reveal our formula of oils and herbal extracts, either. If anyone has any concern about Bee-Quick's ingredients, note that the bottling plant that we use bottles nothing else but food for human consumption. They cannot have any unsafe or non-food-grade materials to come anywhere near their shiny bottling equipment.

It is common for some eye drops to burn or sting upon installation. You should continue to use your eye drops as prescribed. However, if your discomfort seems to be worsening, or you experience a decrease in vision, call your doctor.

A lot of the pain and the skin damage of a paddling (or strapping, etc.) can come from the edges of the paddle, and holes add a lot more edges. I have a paddle with a bunch of small, 0.25" diameter holes that don't even go all the way through the wood. That thing hurts, and it can leave blisters. It even drew blood once. I don't like to use it on bare skin any more, though it's fun through blue jeans.

Jellyfish is a passive predator; it does not chase its prey. In order to catch its prey it needs to paralyze it. In a fraction of a second the sting can fire a paralyzing toxic dart to the victim. Once the prey is paralyzed it is either swallowed by the jellyfish (if it's small enough) or it stays glued to the tentacles, where it is slowly digested. To learn more about the stinging mechanism go to Jellyfish Stings: Hi-tech Micro injections.

The emergence of 'flying ants' in large swarms can cause alarm to people but nothing can be done to stop them swarming, and they are also harmless.

There are numerous types of insects that can sting you if provoked. Social bees and wasps (live in a single nest) will vigorously defend their nest during the summer months and are the most likely to sting humans. These include paper wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, and honey bees. The solitary bees and wasps nest as pairs and rarely sting humans. These include the carpenter bees, mud daubers, ground bees, cicada killers, and potter wasps.

If you have a pair of observation hives, simply expose the bees in one observation hive at regular intervals to enough Bee-Quick to induce a noticeable reaction, while marking newly-emerged bees to be able to record the average lifespan of a statistically significant number of bees. As a control, have a second observation hive that is never exposed to Bee-Quick, but otherwise treated identically.

It certainly is much safer than all other "bee repellents", since it is the only one that is non-toxic, and the only one that is not classified as "Hazardous Materials". Since Bee-Quick produces vapors through oxidation, we suggest that you avoid splashing Bee-Quick in your eyes, but other than this obvious warning, you need take no special precautions.

We have an "attitude problem" on this issue, one we hope you share. We feel that nothing except honey should be in honey. If you spill ANYTHING into honey, we hope that you will not sell it. Bee-Quick liquid, when used correctly, stays on the fume board, and only the vapors come near the honey. Both Bee-Quick liquid and the vapors produced are non-toxic, which is something that no other product can claim.

Nothing will get all the bees out of every super. There will always be a few bees that are too stubborn to leave, for reasons unknown. (There, we just admitted what no one else except a beekeeper will tell you! At least we are honest...) The few bees that remain in the supers are fairly easy to shake or brush off the frames. If you remove the "stubborn" bees from one super while waiting for the fume board to work on another super or hive, things go fairly smoothly.

If the bottle is unopened, still sealed with it's plastic wrap-around seal, and kept out of direct sunlight, Bee-Quick will remain ready-to-use for years. Once opened, the shelf-life depends upon how tightly you screw the cap back on. The bottle contains only a limited amount of air, and Bee-Quick reacts with air (oxidation/evaporation) to produce Bee-Quick vapors.

A brief history: Both beekeepers had difficulty in shaking and brushing bees at harvest. The son kept designing new and innovative escape boards, bought a very expensive, powerful, and noisy Stihl backpack-type blower, and after getting frustrated with each approach, bought a bottle of Butyric Anhydride.

Well, it is MUCH less expensive than other "bee repellents", when one looks at the total cost of using "the other stuff". We are not just talking about the Haz-Mat shipping fees, we are talking about costs like clothes that must be thrown away because you spilled Butyric on them, honey that was not made because you had could not harvest when you wanted and had run out of drawn comb, and so on. Bee Quick is even cheaper than fuel and maintenance for a leaf blower.

While our bee is copyrighted, trademarked, and service marked, as long as you don't use it in connection with things for sale (or as our lawyer says, "in commerce") we don't mind at all. If you include a link to the Bee-Quick website, this will make us very happy.

I advise against all bee products, including honey, pollen, royal jelly, and venom. Nectar is sugar water that flowers produce, in order to attract bees, so that bees will collect pollen and pollinate plants. Honey is nectar that bees collect, swallow, digest, regurgitate, and store; so honey is concentrated sugar and highly addictive. Bee pollen is the pollen that bees collect from flowers. Royal jelly is bee saliva that helps to produce queen bees.

Killer bee" is the name given to the Africanized bee by the media and Hollywood. The sting of an Africanized bee actually contains less venom than that of a European bee. However, Africanized bees have caused human and animal fatalities as a result of their heightened defensive characteristics (thus more stings from more individual bees), so it is important to carry a healthy respect for AHBs.

No, although large dragonflies if held in the hand will sometimes try to bite, but fail to break the skin. They have a lot of "folk names" which imply that they do (such as Horse stinger), but they don't use their egg-laying tube (ovipositor) for stinging. They also don't bite (people) but they are a fearsome predator of other flying insects.

Yes — the venom sac at the end of a wasp sting keeps pulsing for a short period after a wasp dies, so if you come in contact with the sting you may still be injected with venom.

Unprovoked wasp attacks are very rare, a wasp will normally only use its sting to defend itself or to subdue prey. Many wasps stings are the result of people squashing wasps, either deliberately or by accident. Wasps are attracted to food (especially fish sandwiches) and sweet drinks. People have been stung while they are eating because they have not seen the wasp that is also sharing the food.

There were two Sting wind controllers produced for a short time in the late 1980's but both are no longer in production and they were rarely seen. Sting EW1 synthesized, electronic wind instrument fingers basically the same as a saxophone or recorder but can be customized with up to 2000 different fingerings available. Nickel plated instrument appears very much like a clarinet with standard woodwind mouthpiece.

Sometimes it is easier to match the eyelids if both are operated. You must be examined before Dr. Schiller can answer this question for you.
