Bear in mind:

• Special attention must be paid to stings or bites when the victim is a child.
• Also, stings or bites in the mouth or larynx must be treated very quickly.
• Cleansing and disinfection are the first step towards making a good recovery and avoiding problems later on.
• Find out if the victim is allergic to insects or any medication.
