Usually bug bites and stings are just a nuisance. They bring momentary alarm, terrify children and can cause lots of tears, but no serious or lasting health problems. On occasion, they can cause infections that require treatment and allergic reactions that can be serious, even fatal.  But today we are talking about those less serious reactions common to childhood, camping and hiking.

What to Do About:

Bee and Wasp Stings

A bee will leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Try to remove it as quickly as possible. (Wasps don't leave their stingers in the skin after stinging, which means they can sting more than once.)

Wash the area carefully with soap and water. Do this two to three times a day until the skin is healed.

Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth or a cold, wet washcloth for a few minutes.

Once the panic has ceased, apply Stingerz® from Healing Leaf LLC.

Spider Bites

Wash the area carefully with soap and water. Do this two to three times a day until skin is healed.

Apply cool compresses.

Apply Singerz®

Most spiders found in the United States are harmless, with the exception of the black widow and the brown recluse spider. The brown recluse spider — a tiny oval brown spider with a small shape like a violin on its back — is found mostly in midwestern and southern parts of the United States. The bites usually don't hurt at first, and a child might not even be aware of the bite, but in some cases they cause swelling and changes in skin color and a blister.

The black widow spider, which is found all over North America, has a shiny black body and an orange hourglass shape on its underbelly. The venom (poison) in a black widow bite can cause painful cramps that show up within a few hours of the bite. The cramps can start in the muscles around the bite and then spread. The bite may also lead to nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and muscle aches. If your child has any of these symptoms — or you know that he or she has been bitten — go to the emergency room right away.

In the southwest United States, an unidentified bite may be caused by a scorpion. Take your child to the emergency room immediately.

Stingerz® is made from a blend of herbs and oils that is all natural, earth friendly and carefully formulated to sooth, comfort and put out the fire of bee stings, chigger bites, flea bites, mosquito bites and even the pain of stinging nettles. 

Always be alert of extreme reactions, paleness, or breathing difficulties when anyone, child or adult is stung or bitten.  While violent allergic reactions are rare, they can be serious.
