Site map Search: Home Arthropods Insect bites and stings Insect bites and stings can be simply divided into 2 groups: venomous and non-venomous. A sting is usually from an attack by a venomous insect such as a bee or wasp, which uses this as a defence mechanism by injecting toxic and painful venom through its stinger. Whereas non-venomous insect bites pierce the skin to feed on your blood. This usually results in intense itching. What causes insect bites and stings? Common biting and stinging insects Venomous (stingers) Non-venomous (biters) Bees Wasps Hornets Yellow jackets Fire ants Mosquitoes Fleas Ticks Lice Scabies Bed bugs What are the signs and symptoms?

Email Bites and stings Most insect bites and stings are considered minor, causing pain, swelling, and itchiness. These symptoms may last a few days. General First Aid If outside, move to a safer area. Wash the sting/bite and use an ice pack to relieve pain and to slow the spread of the toxin. Bee sting should scraped from the skin without squeezing the poison sac if it is still attached. Seek medical advice if there are severe symptoms, such as widespread swelling, especially of the face or neck, difficulty in breathing, dizziness or a drop in blood pressure. Two potentially life-threatening instances are poisonous spiderbites and particular sensitivity and allergy to bites or stings. In both cases medical advice should be sought. Very young children and the elderly are the most at risk. The only poisonous spiders in New Zealand are the katipo and the closely related Australian red-back spider, which is found in some areas. Antivenom to these spider bites is available at hospitals and health centres. If possible, catch the spider responsible, so that it can be positively identified. There have been no deaths attributed to spider bites in New Zealand for many years.

Need help with PDF files? Bites and stings Published by BUPA's Health Information Team January 2004 Insect bites and stings occur commonly, but in the UK they are usually harmless and result in nothing more than a few red itchy spots or lumps. Pets such as dogs and cats may bite if mis-handled or frightened, and wild animals such as snakes and jellyfish might bite or sting if disturbed. Occasionally a dangerous complication can result from a bite or sting and so it is important to know what to do when necessary. Insect bites and stings Bites from insects that feed on your blood (eg mosquitoes) usually result in itchy spots or lumps that don't normally need any treatment, and clear up within a day or so. The same usually applies for insect stings. If a sting is still visible in the wound, it should be plucked out with tweezers, or scraped out with a fingernail or something blunt like a credit card, while avoiding squeezing the venom sac that can be seen on bee stings. The pain can be relieved by applying a cold compress (a cloth soaked in iced water), or a cream or gel containing a local anaesthetic such as benzocaine, which is contained in products such as Lanacane and Wasp-eze. A cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone can help reduce swelling. These remedies can be bought at a pharmacy.
