    little itching or stinging.
  • A delayed reaction may cause fever, hives,
    painful joints and swollen glands.
  • Only a small percentage of people develop severe
    reactions (anaphylaxis) to insect venom.

For severe reactions..

  • Have the person take an antihistamine pill if he
    or she is able to do so without choking.
  • Have the person lie still on his or her back with
    feet higher than the head.
  • Loosen tight clothing and cover the person with a
    blanket. Don't give anything to drink.
  • Turn the person on his or her side to prevent
