General care of bites and stings:
- Immediately wash the bite or sting with soap and water if available, or use antiseptic wipes if soap and water are not available.
- Put an ice pack on the affected area with a cloth barrier between the ice and skin. If treating a bee sting, remove the stinger first (see below).
- Never attempt to suck out any venom or poison with your mouth!
- Never apply a tourniquet.
- Do not use folk remedies or unproven treatments to care for the casualty.
- Do not give the casualty caffeinated drinks, alcohol, or aspirin.
