Extractions: A 6 year old female was playing in the yard when she suddenly felt pain in her left ankle. Her ankle became swollen, red and painful, so her mother took her to the pediatrician's office. Upon close examination there is a central puncture lesion with a small amount of serosanguineous drainage. Her vital signs are normal. No other examination findings are present What are the potential causes for this lesion? What current treatment is needed? What advice should be given to the child and parents? Another health problem associated with insect bites is the potential to transmit disease. An outbreak of dengue fever in Hawaii (2001) by mosquitoes demonstrated the disease carrying ability of insects as vectors. Another noteworthy vector in Hawaii is the flea and its ability to transmit the plague. Fortunately Hawaii does not have ticks and fleas that carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Envenomation occurs from such arthropods such as spiders and centipedes in Hawaii. A centipede's bites cause intense localized pain, swelling, and occasionally infection and local tissue necrosis. A few of the spiders in Hawaii contain venom in their bite that can lead to serious complications. Two of the more dangerous spiders are discussed in greater detail below.

Older "first aid" methods for snakebite are classic examples of techniques with the potential to cause the patient harm. Indeed, the use of tourniquets and "cut and suck" have resulted in numerous cases of permanent and severe injury to patients, even deaths. First Aid for Marine Bites and Stings

Click here for an archive of other articles Humans are hosts to numerous smaller organisms that may or may not welcome our participation in their environment. Insects, the most successful organism on earth, are often helpful to humans. They help us in agriculture and they keep each other in check. Unfortunately, they also like to check us out. For most of us, the sight of an insect makes our skin crawl. Most invasions of our skin are for purposes of feeding. These are often annoying and sometimes dangerous. Some insects sting to protect themselves. Knowing how to protect ourselves from bites and stings, how to treat them once they occur and how to distinguish dangerous from innocuous ones is important to our health. The annoying variety of insectsgnats, flies, mosquitoes, fleasis far more common than the potentially dangerous varietybees, some spiders, ticks. Routine bites of the annoying bugs cause local reactions at the site of the bite. Even a large reaction at the site of the bite is considered a local reaction, not an allergic reaction. This distinction is important because, as a rule, local reactions are not dangerous. A local reactionredness, swelling and itching begins within 1-3 days of a bite. It reach its pinnacle at about 48 hours later and subsides 2 to 3 days after the peak. Treatment is directed at alleviating discomfort, since the lesion resolves on its own with time. Cool compresses, topical 1% hydrocortisone cream, and topical agents such as Rhulli Gel®, Itch-X®, Caladryl®, calamine lotion and Aveeno Anti-itch Cream® may help. For multiple bites or excessive itching, an oral antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl®), hydroxyzine (Atarax®), cetirizine (Zyrtec®), cyproheptadine (Periactin®) or loratidine (Claritin®) may also help. Oral steroids are not used for minor bite reactions. Try to keep your childs fingernails short and clean to avoid a secondary infection caused by scratching.

Extractions: Bites and stings usually occur during the warmer months. The warm weather sends most of us outdoors and increases our exposure to bees, spiders, caterpillars, and snakes. These animals use poisonous venom as a means to capture prey or defending of themselves or nesting areas. Take time to practice prevention and learn first aid. The West Virginia Poison Center is available 24 hours a day to help you if a bite or sting occurs. A little about Bees and Wasps Bees and wasps usually will avoid contact with humans unless threatened. When a bee or wasp flies close, don't swat it away. A slow, quiet retreat out of harm's way is the best move. Avoid wearing bright colors, clothing with flower patterns, and heavily scented perfumes and hair sprays. Some plants such as clover and fruit trees, attract bees and wasps. Keep away. Bees and Wasps A little about Spiders There are only two spiders in West Virginia that are harmful to humans. These spiders are the brown recluse (or fiddleback spider) and the black widow. Bites from all of the other spiders can result in mild redness and pain. Recommended treatment for these bites are: clean the area with soap and water then apply a cool compress over the affected area. Call the poison center or your family physician if symptoms are more severe or if you suspect you have been bitten by the brown recluse or the black widow. Prevent spider bites by keeping attics, garages, and basements clean. Dispose of old storage boxes. Carefully shake out stored clothing or shoes before putting them on. Avoid reaching into dark closets, boxes or other places where spiders may live without looking first. As a rule, a bite from a spider means that the victim interfered with a nesting area.

While all insects can bite or sting, some are more bothersome and dangerous than others. Bites from fleas, mosquitoes and the common horsefly can cause pain, itching and swelling at the site - an unpleasant experience but not necessarily dangerous, unless an infection occurs. If breathing difficulties, difficult swallowing and/or body-wide itching develop, the patient is having a severe allergic reaction. Immediately call 9-1-1 for assistance. Otherwise, wash the bite or sting area well with soap and water to help prevent infection. If stung or bitten on fingers or hand, remove any rings or jewelry in case of swelling. Your local pharmacist can help you select the best over-the-counter medications to help treat insect and spider bites. How can stings and bites be prevented?
Extractions: H. Contingency plan of action format BITES AND STINGS Insects and related pests are hazards in a survival situation. They not only cause irritations, but they are often carriers of diseases that cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals. In many parts of the world you will be exposed to serious, even fatal, diseases not encountered in the United States. Ticks can carry and transmit diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever common in many parts of the United States. Ticks also transmit the Lyme disease. Mosquitoes may carry malaria, dengue, and many other diseases. Flies can spread disease from contact with infectious sources. They are causes of sleeping sickness, typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. Fleas can transmit plague. Lice can transmit typhus and relapsing fever.

Extractions: Bites by dogs and other large mammals Bites by dogs are common in all parts of the world. They may cause mechanical damage, including soft tissue injury, avulsion of nerves and tendons, compound fractures, and, rarely, death. They may also be complicated by a range of bacterial infections including tetanus. Some infections are peculiar to animal bites (eg Pasteurella multocida and rabies). Bites may also be inflicted by domestic cats and monkeys, and less commonly by horses, rodents, bats and even large carnivores. Infection may occasionally be introduced through scratches and licks over broken skin. 12.1.1 Treatment Animal bites should not be ignored. Travellers should be advised to: clean the wound thoroughly as soon as possible with soap/detergent and water (preferably under a running tap) apply an antiseptic such as iodine or 40-70 per cent alcohol (gin, whisky and vodka contain about 40 per cent)

Symptoms If you look very closely you can generally see the small hole of the actual bite. The rash or individual 'spot' is usually itchy and may swell, particularly if it is a bite from a horsefly (clegg). Causes 'Midges', horseflies, bees, wasps, centipedes, ants, lice and so on. The list is long but thankfully there are no killers within the UK. Prevention Insect repellents work. If you think you have lice, ask your pharmacist for advice (see Lice Complications Some people are strongly allergic to bites and stings and can be very ill. If there is any shortness of breath, dial 999. Bites can become infected by scratching. Self care Although itchy and sometimes painful they are rarely dangerous and need only some antihistamine or local anaesthetic cream from your pharmacist. Ask your pharmacist for advice. The redness and swelling are usually due to the allergy rather than an infection. Antibiotics are rarely needed in the first 48 hours.
