When you suddenly experience a bite on your knee, you are there, minding your own business. A few ants digging into your ankle as you look over reveal that the enemy is certainly welcome on their soil.
Even though Singapore is highly urbanized, incidents like this serve as reminders that we live in the land of nature, and that when the boundary is crossed, nature can still bit. However, retaliation scarcely has been dangerous, as in the case of the older cyclist who died after being stung by wasps. Just 34 fatalities caused by insect wounds were identified over the course of 13 years of research, including Australia, which is home to some of the world’s most poisonous creatures.  ,  ,
What can you do in Singapore if you also come across scorpions or the ever-present fire bees? What about the nibbles that you believe are the result of some unnecessary souvenirs, aka mattress bugs, from your new holiday?
For one, see your GP if you create pus- filled scars and flu- like signs, and according to Singhealth, certainly go to the A&, E if you have been stung , three or more times, or stung in the mouth. If you have allergy or a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction, you would also need immediate medical attention:
- Different parts of your body that may be affected by anguish, pain, or swelling, such as your face or mouth.
- Difficulty in breathing
- Dizziness, diarrhea or diarrhea
- Fast heart level
- Giddiness
- Uncertainty or agitation
- Pale body
Luckily, in most cases, the redness and swelling may subside within many hours or days, despite the initial problems and pain. Find out how to catch the criminals behind the wounds, what to do right away, and how to handle these bites at home to relieve your pain.
