Have you ever been stung by an insect? You probably remember how it felt. It hurts! The two greatest risks from stings are allergic reactions and infections. It is important for you to know what to expect and what to do. This month we will PLAY IT SAFE, by learning first aid for stings and will create our very own after-bite paste.
Female mosquitoes, not the males, are the biters. They just need a sip of blood before they lay their eggs on a pond or other still water. Bees leave their stingers behind. Wasps and yellow jackets don’t. Bee’s stingers are attached to a venom sac. Be careful when you try to remove it.
