If someone is stung by an insect this is what you should do:
- Remove any visible stinger
- Wash the site with soap and water
- Cover the site and keep it clean
- Apply a cold pack to the area to reduce pain and swelling
- Call 911 if the person has any trouble breathing or for any other signals of anaphylaxis.
These and other things are what you can learn during our CPR/First Aid/AED courses.
