BEE AND WASP STINGS

    Bees are territorial creatures. They defend their territory by injecting a powerful chemical, formic acid, into the intruder. This injection also contains traces of immune reactive agents that can provoke violent reactions in humans.
    * Grab and yank out the stinger as fast as you can. Wash the area with Antibacterial Liquid Soap and cold water. Immediately apply T36-C5 or MelaGel to stop pain and prevent secondary infection. Do not use any other home remedies, such as baking soda, with the Melaleuca products for this. Reapply every 15 minutes until all signs and symptoms are gone. Four to six applications may be necessary. Take ProVex or ProVex-Plus immediately and continue for 24 hours.
    WARNING: When a person is allergic to bee or wasp stings, this can be life threatening. The allergic person should carry an antidote kit containing adrenaline and benadryl. Administer this according to the directions before any other therapy. Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, puffy or swollen throat or eyes, rapid heart rate, dizziness, or profuse sweating are signs of an allergic reaction and can appear within 10 to 30 minutes after being stung.
