INSECT STINGS.
Dngrou Always and Espaclally
Whin One Is Run Down.
Stings and bites of Insects are ex
tremely dangerous at all times and
especially n nen (be system is not In a
condition to resist tbe poison injected.
In many Insects tbe nature of tbe
poison bns not been ascertained, while
in most of t bem It is of an acid, irri
tant nature. In others It may contain a
powerful cardiac sedative and depres
sant, and In Brill others onanisms In
pure or mixed cultures may be intro
duced with tbe sting or bite. Apart
from tbe natural poison used by in
sects It sbnuld not be forgotten that
flies and otber insects that live on
carrion may easily carry contagion
and Inoculate tbe persons wbom tbey
bite or sting.
In tbe case of ordinary bites and
stings tbe chemical antidote is an
alkaline solution, socb as a strong so
lution of bicarbonate of soda or pot
ash, wblcb counteracts tbe add of tbe
sting. . Suction at tbe wound in all
tbese varieties of stings and bites will
draw out some of tbe poison and until
some hntltoilo treatment can be found
wblcb will prove an antidote to tbe
bacterial poison Introduced little can
be done beyond a stimulating and sup
porting treatment witb attention to
symptoms. Health.
