Extractions: In the United States, where the dog population exceeds 50 million, dogs surpass all other mammals in the number of bites inflicted on humans. However, most dog-bite injuries are minor. A telephone survey of U.S. households conducted in 1994 led researchers to estimate that 3,737,000 nonmedically treated dog bites occurred in the United States that year, versus 757,000 that were medically treated. Studies also show that most dog bites are from pets or other dogs known to the victim, that males are more likely than females to be bitten, and that children face a greater risk than adults. Each year, about 10-20 Americansmostly children under 10 years oldare killed by dogs. Dog bites resulted in an estimated 334,000 emergency-room visits annually throughout the United States in 1992-94. More than half of the bites seen by emergency departments originated in the home. Children under 10 years old were more likely than older people to visit an emergency room for bite treatment, especially boys 5-9 years old. Children under 10 years old were also much more liable to be bitten on the face, neck, and head. Nearly all of the injuries suffered by the emergency-room patients were of "low severity," and most were treated and released without being admitted to hospital or sent to another facility.

Aconitum napellus: This remedy can be helpful if a person feels fearful or panicked after being stung. Cutting, stabbing, or burning pain may be felt, along with swelling, tingling, or numbness. Aconitum should be used immediately, while symptoms are intense, and can be followed by another remedy, as indicated. Apis mellifica: If a bite or bee sting causes puffy, tender swelling that is pink or red and hot to the touch, this remedy may be helpful. The area stings and burns, and cold applications bring relief. (If a person is allergic to insect venom, especially bee-stings, Apis may help to reduce the swelling of the passages, given as first aid while on the way to emergency medical care.)
