Treating Insect Bites & Stings

Video Transcript

"Any time that you are outside, particularly if you're going to be spending time outside by yourself, you want to be sure that if you have any sort of allergies to insect bites or stings, that you are well prepared for it. If you have an Epinephrine Pen, be sure that you keep that handy with you, and it might always be a good idea if you have serious allergies to bees, and wasps, and that sort of thing that you just check in with somebody before you go spend your time outside, and then that you check back in with them after a certain amount of time. And, that way, just it just sort of puts somebody on alert, if they haven't heard back from you. You never know when an accidental sting is going to happen, obviously we don't plan for accidents. So, it's a serious consideration. Be sure to keep your Epinephrine, your Benadryl, whatever it is that you need to use in an emergency handy, and that will help you feel safe and relaxed outside."
