Insect stings can be dangerous for those individuals who develop sensitivity to them, and these may result in dangerous general allergic reactions (called anaphylaxis) and even death.
Note: In the case of a bee sting, the sting should be scraped or pulled out immediately to prevent further venom being injected-the stinger empties of venom within 30 seconds!

What is It? – This technique is when you use an Epipen to inject Adrenaline into the victim’s muscle and then seek urgent medical attention.
Why is it Done?– It is done to reduce the effects of serious allergic reactions.
How is it Done?
Step 1: If you have a previous severe allergic reaction, always take a first aid kit with an Epipen when going on any field trip.

Step 2: If you are bitten or stung, and you know you are likely to have an allergic reaction, reach immediately for your Epipen.

Step 3: Pull the grey cap straight off the end.
Place the black end of the Epipen against the skin. Push the Epipen firmly until it 'clicks'.
This means the adrenaline has been injected into the muscle.

Step 4: Apply antiseptic to the bite or sting area and a cold pack to relieve any local irritation, swelling or pain.
Seek urgent medical help. Meanwhile, maintain basic life support using Emergency Procedures (DR-ABC).
