Tips To Avoid Insect Bites and Stings:

June 18, 2009

Did you ever experience the stinging bite of an insect? I am sure all of us must have had this experience at least once in our life time. Some of them are too poisonous to be treated while others can be cured through proper treatment. Therefore, the best policy you can apply is “prevention is better than cure”. Thus, here are some tips to help you prevent insect bites.

Watch your steps: Be very careful while you go on a trip to a jungle or a forest. Check every step you take and try not to disturb any nest or hive that comes your way. You should also be very careful while cleaning your attic or while gardening at home so that you do not disturb the hidden bee hive in one corner. Even if you accidentally prick into the den of the insects you will have to face the consequences.

Walk on grass with shoes on: Avoid walking bare footed on grass fields. No doubt it is a good exercise but there are high chances that you might step into trouble. Stepping on a bee or a giant ant means inviting trouble. The stinging effect is horrible and the pain will stay for a long period.

Stay Cool: If you see a yellow bee or a bumble bee approaching you avoid fidgeting around. Stay cool and calm and just move out of that place silently. If you raise and move your hands around indefinitely it will scare the insect and it will surely sting you in self defense.

Avoid fragrance: It is always advisable to avoid using perfumes, deodorants, perfume, cologne, scented aftershaves if you are going for gardening or for a trip to a forest. This is because insects are highly attracted towards fragrance.

Bright clothes and dazzling jewellery: Too much of bright and colorful clothes and dazzling and metal based jewelleries are likely to attract insects towards them. Thus, avoid such clothes and accessories while gardening.
