Generally, an insect bite with the sole intention of eating. This is true for the mosquitoes, fleas and flies. Their saliva contains a chemical that is released at the time of the bite. The result is usually limited to a swelling and itching that goes to a mere inconvenience local will not last.
When a bee sting, wasp or hornet venom is injected. It is causing pain and swelling of the skin will redden and spread rapidly. If you are hypersensitive to the venom or if it is very aggressive, the consequences can be felt in the whole body.

Prevention is better …

Everyone knows that prevention is better than cure … This prevention must be based on the insect and the activity. It may consist, for example, to wear clothes suitable for outdoor or keeping insects at bay with a net. There are products specifically designed to repel insects, mostly containing DEET (diethyl toluamide). They can be applied to the skin using a roller or a spray but they are also found in the form of oils or milk to rub on the skin. There are also electric diffusers which, after heating the product that evaporates, will prevent its escape into the air. Designed to repel insects, these products are far from harmless and their result is not always optimal. Use them always with the necessary caution and carefully follow the instructions. Moreover, for children and pregnant women, especially, they can have a very negative impact on health.

Some like it cold!

If « the assailant » got what he wanted and causes a painful sting, cool place bitten with cold water, ice or a cold object. Indeed, the cold-induced contraction of vessels that will prevent the poison spreads. If the sting of an insect is stuck in your skin, get rid of it as quickly as possible. Indeed, it may still remain active for some time and continue to inject the venom regardless of whether it is separated from the insect body. Scratch the bite or sting often causes infections.

Clean correctly wound with soap and water. Do not use vinegar or other acidic substances to relieve the itching. The effect of products designed to alleviate the itching and pain has not been sufficiently proved, that is why they are not recommended. Other products temporarily reduce the stinging. This effect may be psychological. It may also be partly due to the cooling sensation caused by the active component, such as menthol, or even the composition of the ointment, cream or lotion.

Beware of ointments

The application of ointments on the skin with antihistamines should be discouraged if you feel tingling, because the skin can react by hypersensitivity. Furthermore, when exposed to sunlight, these ointments can cause problems.

As for ointments containing cortisone, we believe they have no place in self-medication because their use is subject to certain restrictive conditions. If pain and swelling persist, intensify or if the skin continues to glow, it usually means that the wound is infected. Then it is best to consult a doctor.

Ask for help

In a strong local reaction, and when the tingling is too unbearable, an oral antihistamine can bring relief. Do not use your own initiative but consult your pharmacist. Watch for yourself the place stung or try to see if the stinger is still stuck in your skin. You can determine if you can involve yourself or if you need help from a doctor. You need to see it in the case of a sting in the mouth or throat if you have been stung several times or if you are hypersensitive to insect stings. In the latter case, you can also make use of a first aid kit specifically designed. In this pack are described situations likely to arise in our own country. But the kit can also be effective if you opt for more distant destinations.

Depending on your place of residence or destination, or the activities you plan to practice, plan the kinds of insects that you may be asked to meet in order to cope!

The hot season brings lots of amenities. Just think of vacations, barbecues and swimming. But vacationers are not alone in wanting to enjoy the weather! Carpet in the groves or near marshes, insects dreaded waiting patiently spend their next victims. These little winged vampires are many and they have several names.
Mosquito

Mosquitoes biting insects are probably the best known and most hated of the summer season! The male is harmless, as is the case with most biting and stinging insects. Indeed, only females are looking for blood for the development of their larvae. Otherwise, mosquitoes feed on nectar, which has the effect of helping to pollinate flowers.
Linguistic observations

Mosquito originated from Spanish mosquito means « little fly ». This name has several variations according to region. The term mosquito (too colloquial) is used in Quebec, Acadia, the Caribbean (marengwen), with Reunion Island (maringwin) and Louisiana. There is also a town Maringouin in this American state.

The word mosquito is a loan of Tupi-Guarani mbarigui. This Native American language was once spoken on the Brazilian coast. In France and Belgium, we select an insect similar to the name of cousin.

In colloquial language, it also uses the word mosquito figuratively speaking of a child or small person.
Firebrand and black fly

Biting midges are tiny insects, difficult to see. Because of their small size, they weave easily through the mesh of traditional nets.

The name comes from the verb firebrand burning. Indeed, the bites of these insects give a painful burning sensation and often brings about swelling. In new spelling, you can omit the caret (brûlot).

A firebrand may also designate a violent speech or writing intended to trigger controversy.
The militant firebrand who posted this did a lot of waves.

Slightly larger than biting midges, black flies (also known as the black flies) like to tackle behind the ears, neck and ankles. Black flies are everywhere on the globe, even in the tropics or the Arctic.
Horsefly

The gadfly is a biting insect as feared by animals than by humans. Voracious, he does not hesitate to pounce on its prey to snatch pieces of skin. Horse flies are most active on warm days with little windy. They have a preference for wet skin, the great misfortune of swimmers and boaters.

There are several names for the gadfly. Particularly in French Canada, we speak of deer flies, moose flies, horse flies, hit-to-edge-first and hits. It is sometimes mistakenly the word gadfly to talk about a drone (a big hairy insect resembling a bee).
