The teacher also explained that not all bites or stings are the
same. You will need different first aid treatments and care.

These depend on what type of animal has bitten or stung you.
If a person is stung by a bee, remove the sting immediately.
The sting causes the affected part to swell. Then, wash the
stung part with soap and water or spirit. Do not squeeze or
rub the affected part. These procedures can also be applied to

a person who is stung by a wasp. In case of a scorpion sting,
take a pain killer to reduce pain because the scorpion sting is
very painful. Then, if possible, put ice on the stung part.
