Tumor, swelling and reddening from a bite of a horsefly: symptoms, what to do, how to treat

It's summer. The sun is hot, the heat. Nature beckons with its beauty and serenity. All would be well, but summer charm can easily be spoiled by various minor troubles and injuries. For example, a bite of a hindleg can lead to a number of consequences and complications. To avoid serious problems, you need to know what can be dangerous horsefly, and how to give the person emergency help.

What is dangerous is the sting bite?

First of all, the bite of any insect is dangerous because it can provoke an allergic reaction of varying severity. Everything depends on how much the organism was sensitized earlier, what is its sensitivity and reactivity. The greatest danger is that a person can develop anaphylactic shock, which is accompanied by loss of consciousness, a drop in the pulse, a drop in blood pressure. A person can even fall into a coma, or die. But this is an extreme degree of allergic reaction.

Quincke's edema may also develop - a progressive swelling that closes the airways and can result in death from suffocation. Also, cerebral edema can occur, followed by the development of cardiac, renal and hepatic insufficiency. These were the most dangerous consequences. But even as complications are considered and such consequences as hives, swelling, irritation.

Do lay eggs lay with a bite?

When biting, the hocks do not produce eggs. But their bite can be dangerous for other reasons - when they bite, they inject a certain amount of poison, which includes enzymes. They have a poisonous effect on the body, can cause intoxication, allergic reaction, to start autoimmune aggression. These processes can be accompanied by a general decrease in the resistance, endurance of the body, a violation of the immune system, hormonal background. Also, the danger consists of disturbances in metabolic processes, may be accompanied by an increase in body temperature, intoxication, chills.

Is it possible to die from a sting bite?

A bite can be fatal, as it is accompanied by the release of a large amount of histamine that develops and maintains an allergic reaction. This is especially dangerous for those people who suffer from hypersensitivity, are prone to allergic reactions. A special risk arises in people with a tendency to react hypersensitivity, proceeding immediately. Dangerous and cases of infection of the wound surface, which develops in the event that a person does not provide timely assistance. Also, the risk and likelihood of fatal outcome increases in pregnant women and newborns, in persons with immunodeficiency, as well as in senile and old age.

After how long does the stalk bite pass?

It all depends on what the endurance of the body, what is its resistance to adverse infectious agents, toxins. Also important are the indices of the immune system, on which the outcome of any disease depends. In the normal state of the immune system, the body responds to the state of the immune system for not more than a week.

[1]

Symptoms of the sting bite

With multiple bites, or against a background of a decreased immune system, an increased sensitivity of the body to infectious agents and toxins, weakness, headache, dizziness, chills, nausea, vomiting can significantly increase body temperature.

In the event that a person has an increased sensitivity to poison, hives develop, palpitation, rapid breathing. There may be accompanying pain in the lower back, joints. Later, convulsions join, the condition can worsen until the loss of consciousness. It can also develop an attack of asthma, bronchial asthma. Often develops anaphylactic shock, which ends with a coma, or death, if you do not take the necessary measures.

How does the sting on the body look like?

It has the appearance of redness, a bite that resembles a bite of a wasp. The swollen and swollen area becomes a small hematoma, which in the center is white and towering above the surface of the skin, and around the edges is surrounded by a red border.

First there is a sharp pain in the place of the bite. Then, redness develops rather quickly, a strong swelling. This is due to the action of the poison, which the horsefly injects into the body during the bite. In the place of bite in a relatively short period of time develops a burning sensation, redness, swelling develops, local temperature rises.

A strong bite of the horsefly is accompanied by signs of a powerful allergic reaction and intoxication. Not only does the local reaction develop in the form of redness and hyperemia, but also a systemic reaction, manifested in an increase in local temperature, signs of poisoning. A person begins to have a headache, develop shortness of breath, dizziness. The condition can progress if not taken the appropriate measures.

A bite in the eye

It is quite dangerous, because the allergic reaction develops very quickly. It is known that the closer the place of the bite is to the brain, the faster the intoxication reaction develops, and the more favorable the outcome is. It is worth noting that the eye becomes swollen. Edema spreads both on the upper and lower eyelid. They swell, and as if they cover the eye. The eye itself is not visible, but if you open your eyelids, you can notice a strong reddening of the eye. Hemorrhage in the eye may develop.

The danger is that the blood vessels that feed the eye swell. There may be a rupture. Accordingly, the blood supply to the eye decreases, its innervation is disturbed, as a result of which inflammation (conjunctivitis, blepharitis) can develop. Often develop multiple inflammatory processes, edema. At the same time, several eye diseases can be combined. In this case, due to impaired trophism, the outflow of metabolites from the eye is disturbed, and a lack of oxygen develops. Accordingly, the functional state of the eye may be impaired, which entails partial or complete blindness.

Reaction to a stalk bite

It develops as an allergic reaction and is caused by ingestion of an enzyme (poison), which acts as a powerful allergen, and triggers a cascade of allergic reactions in the body.

Accordingly, the activation of the immune system occurs, the synthesis of histamine, other factors of inflammation increases. All this contributes to the fact that the body increases the level of antibodies. They, in turn, trigger mechanisms aimed at normalizing the state. It can be like a normal reaction, which is accompanied by an inflammatory process, redness of the bite site. Gradually, the poison is neutralized, processed by antibodies, leukocytes, and other factors of the body's immune defense that enter the bite site. Gradually, there is a neutralization of the poison, and its elimination from the body.

If the allergic reaction is insufficient, neutralization and excretion of the poison from the body does not occur. Accordingly, there is a deterioration of the condition, the poison spreads through the body, resulting in a strong intoxication reaction, which is accompanied by fever, chills, headache. Violated the composition and function of blood.

There is a third option, in which the body is already in a state of increased immunization, sensitization, and exhibits an excessive reaction to the allergen. Accordingly, the immune system exhibits increased reactivity, synthesizes too many immune defense factors. Accordingly, an autoimmune reaction develops, the essence of which is the increased aggressiveness of antibodies, and this aggression is directed against the structures of one's own organism.

Tumor from bite of the hind

Actually the tumor in the classical sense of the meaning of this word does not develop. In order to clarify the situation, the meaning of the term "swelling" should first be clarified. So, by this phenomenon is meant the transformation of the cells of the body, under which they begin to grow and multiply uncontrollably, and lose the ability to die. Accordingly, the tissue, which includes such cells, grows infinitely and grows in size.

A bite of a dolt can not provoke such an uncontrolled growth of a cell, since such a phenomenon does not require the influence of the genetic apparatus of the cell. And the horsefly with its bite simply launches into the body enzymes, which interact with the components of blood and other biological fluids. In this case, only a slight change in the biochemical properties of the organism occurs. In doing so, they are reversible. What can be taken for a tumor is nothing more than a swelling of soft tissues at the site of a bite, or a hematoma formed by bruising or accumulation of exudate. Maybe the formation of pus, if the wound was infected.

Allergy to a stalk bite

The allergy can manifest itself in different ways - starting from the most simple allergic reactions, such as hives, ending with anaphylactic shock. The allergy develops in response to ingestion of an allergen (when bitten along with the poison). At the same time, a reaction develops in one of two types - immediate type or delayed type.

With the development of an immediate-type reaction, the MRI of HT develops a reaction fairly quickly, from a few minutes to 1-1.5 hours. It manifests itself heavily. It is predominantly edema, rapidly progressive, such as Quincke's edema, hives, anaphylactic shock. If you do not give help in a timely manner, it can end in a fatal outcome.

The delayed-type reaction - RHRTTT develops after some time after the bite, usually at least 2-3 hours after the ingestion of the poison into the body. In this case, there is a reaction such as irritation, redness, swelling, hives. It can be accompanied by burning, itching, systemic manifestations (fever, chills, nausea, drowsiness, headache and dizziness). The pathogenesis is based on the isolation of histamine and other inflammatory factors. Accordingly, with a bite, you need to drink antihistamine (antiallergic) agents as soon as possible. The faster the help is provided, the more favorable the outcome, and the easier the course of the reaction. Allergic reaction and response to bite develops even in a healthy person. But for a person with allergies, bronchial asthma, increased sensitization of the body without providing timely assistance, such a bite can be fatal.

Edema from a sting bite

Edema is a normal reaction to ingestion of an antigen. Edema is one of the varieties of an allergic reaction. The essence of this phenomenon is that a large amount of histamine, other inflammation factors, leukocytes, cells of the immune system, basophils are attracted to the site of the bite.

The process is accompanied by a purulent exudate, if there is an intense dying off of these elements, as well as with excessive accumulation of fluid. Rid of the swelling can be by applying to the site of the bite of various compresses, cold. The most effective are compresses based on vegetable decoctions, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects.

[6], [7], [8]

Itches the bite of a horsefly

The bite site will itch - this is a normal reaction. This lasts for several days - usually from 1 to 5 days. It is the reaction of the body in response to the action of an allergen, a toxin that enters the body during a bite. In order to eliminate the itching, usually only antiallergic agents are not enough. Ointments prepared on the basis of vegetable components and an animal substance proved to be very useful.

A baby's stalk is bitten

Manifestations of a bite in a child are no different from manifestations of bites in adults. The exception is the time of reaction development - usually in children the reaction develops much faster - after 5-15 minutes, severe swelling, hives, and even anaphylactic shock can develop. It is also worth noting that the course of the reaction in children manifests itself more severely and dramatically, compared with the reaction in an adult. Nevertheless, often all the manifestations and consequences of a child's bite disappear much faster. On average, the reaction lasts from 2 to 3 days. Antiallergic agents usually help to quickly get rid of unpleasant consequences.

[9]

Bite of the dullness in pregnancy

Bites during pregnancy should be avoided, because at this time the body is as sensitive as possible, there is an increased sensitization of the body. At this time, the body is most susceptible to stress, experiencing an already stressful condition. In addition, not only the mother, but also the child (not yet born) is exposed to danger. It should be borne in mind that sensitization of the body is increased during pregnancy, there is an already high level of histamine, antibodies, basophils. When bitten, these indicators are many times increased, which can lead to severe reactions, up to anaphylactic shock.

[10]

Complications and consequences

The main consequence is edema, allergy, a constantly progressive condition. A characteristic feature is that often the bite is accompanied by an excessive reaction, which ends with a stroke of suffocation, progressive swelling, an asthmatic attack, anaphylactic shock. Pregnant women can end with intrauterine fetal death, premature birth, or miscarriage. As for asthmatics, allergic people, they can even have a coma, death. Lethal outcome may result in bite and lya newborns, infants. The danger poses also the possibility of infection of the bite, in which a strong inflammatory and infectious process develops. The most dangerous is considered the infection of blood (sepsis), bacteremia (high level of bacteria in the body, including penetration of infection into the blood). Infection can result in a fatal outcome, especially if the body gets Gram-negative microorganisms.

It can develop tetanus, gas gangrene, which result in tissue necrosis (dying), as well as the need to excise the affected tissue, amputate limbs. The danger is also in the metabolic disturbance, the development of autoimmune reactions, in which the body exhibits the maximum possible reaction directed at the destruction of its own cells (they are perceived by the body as genetically alien agents).

The wound and bruise after the sting bite

After the bite, there is a wound that needs to be treated and treated as quickly as possible with disinfectants. First of all, you need to rinse it with enough hydrogen peroxide, treat it with alcohol. After this, a clean dry bandage is applied, so that the wound is closed and the infection does not get into it. You can treat the skin around the wound with iodine or green, or sprinkle with streptocide, which will prevent the development of infection. Also, reconditioning and wound healing ointments, which can be prepared independently at home, proved to be quite good. They are recommended to be applied directly to the wound, after the healing of the main damaged area occurred, that is, after the formation of the slightest crust. Ointments help to quickly restore the skin, regenerate it.

It can occur in the event that a vessel (microvessel) has suffered damage, and subcutaneous hemorrhage has occurred. This can happen for two reasons - immediately at the time of the bite the horsefly damaged the vessel, or the bruise appeared in response to the damage and compression of the vessel with an inflamed and swollen tissue.

In this case, the application of compress and cold, which will quickly get rid of bruises.

[11], [12], [13]

A cone and blisters from a sting bite

It is a consolidation of soft tissues, which developed in response to the penetration of poison into the body. Often is a seal, which includes exudate of various types. It can be lymph, particles of gore, pus. The most dangerous is purulent exudate, because in the future it can cause a severe purulent-inflammatory process. In order to eliminate the cone as soon as possible, it is recommended to apply various anti-inflammatory ointments to the surface.

Often represent the body's reaction to the penetration of toxin. In this case, the blisters can be as dry. So it's wet. Dry are formed by skin invaginations, and are not filled with liquid. Whereas wet blisters inside contain various exudates. It can be a tissue fluid, lymph, blood remnants, pus. Quickly rid of blisters can be with the help of medicinal trays, in which the affected areas are placed. The temperature of the tub should be comfortable, warm. The duration of the procedure is 10-15 minutes. It is also recommended to add various vegetable decoctions to the baths, which also have the main curative effect.

Temperature after a sting bite

It can increase with the development of inflammatory and infectious reactions, allergies, intoxication. As a rule, it develops on day 2-3 after the bite, when the pathological process reaches its peak. In some individuals with a pronounced tendency to allergic organism, can develop already on the first day, and even within a few hours after the bite.

As a rule, the temperature does not exceed 37.5, which indicates that the body is struggling with toxin, infection and inflammation, and also points to the course of regeneration processes. A rise in temperature above these levels may indicate that the body is not coping with the load, and urgent help is required. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Also, in order to temporarily lower the temperature and ease the condition, you can use some recipes of alternative medicine, homeopathic remedies.

The sting of a horse hurts

The pain develops rarely. In most cases, the bite is accompanied by severe burning, itching, irritation and redness of the bite site. Pain may appear when the area of the bite is pressed. However, pain can be quite pronounced in the development of complications, for example, in case of infection and the development of an inflammatory process. Pain should alert, because any pain is a signal in response to something in the body that is not right, and treatment is required. It is necessary to consult a doctor, self-medication is not recommended.

Inflammation of the sting bite

Most often, the inflammatory process develops if the infection gets into the body, or stagnant reactions develop for a long time. To eliminate inflammation, you need to see a doctor who will prescribe the necessary treatment. You can use alternative drugs that will help quickly get rid of inflammation. But before using them, you should always consult a doctor.

After the bite of the horsefly, a seal was formed

Unequivocally, we can not say what exactly caused the development of seals. For this you need to undergo a survey. You may need an X-ray that will show the cause of the compaction. It can be a stagnant phenomenon, an inflammatory process, or an accumulation of exudate, pus. To eliminate the seals, try an ointment. It can be applied directly to the affected area, or under a compress.

A trace from the bite of a horsefly

It can stay if there is a tendency to allergic reactions, if the inflammation is severe, and also if the person has a low degree of regeneration and repair processes. From any trace (scar), you can easily get rid of, if you use means to restore the skin. Well-established non-traditional methods.

[14]

What should I do if the stalk does not pass?

First, you need to immediately consult a doctor, and do not delay with the diagnosis. This is the main condition for the successful treatment of any pathology. Self-medication can be dangerous. The bite does not last for a long time if a person has reduced immunity, hormonal and immune malfunctions, frequent cold and inflammatory reactions. This occurs against the background of increased sensitization of the body, reduced reactivity, insufficient resistance and resistance to infectious agents.

Diagnostics of the sting bite

The essence of diagnostics consists in revealing those deviations that appeared against the background of a bite. Help to get rid of undesirable consequences is possible only if you know exactly the cause of the pathology. Therefore, an important element of diagnosis is the definition of the cause of pathology. In this case, classical methods of research (examination, survey, auscultation, percussion, palpation) are used.

[15], [16], [17]

Differential diagnosis

The essence of differential diagnosis is to distinguish the signs of a bite of one insect from another. The correctness of determining the type of insect depends on the correctness of further treatment and its effectiveness. It is also important to determine what changes have occurred in the body, what are the main pathological processes in it. Apply different methods and means of diagnosis.

Some laboratory, instrumental methods of investigation may be required. Of the laboratory, the most commonly prescribed blood, urine, and feces analysis. Less commonly, bacteriological cultures, scrapings, and dysbacteriosis may be required. If suspected of being infected, a virological, bacteriological and parasitological examination can be carried out. Instrumental methods - X-ray, ultrasound.

[18], [19], [20], [21], [22]

Treatment of the sting bite

Treatment is to prevent the development of an inflammatory, infectious process and severe allergies. It is important to provide first aid in a timely manner - you need to remove the sting as soon as possible. After that, cold is applied to the affected area. Then the affected area for a long time must be treated with various ointments. Prednisolone, levomycetin ointment has proved to be the best. You can use a variety of alternative and homeopathic remedies.

It is necessary to take anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The patient needs to provide a copious drink. It is also recommended to take amidopyrine inside (0.25 mg per day). Also well-proven analgin (0.5 grams). It has an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic effect. In addition, analgin cleanses the blood, which prevents the formation of blood clots, exudate, stagnation.

In order to quickly remove the edema used diphenhydramine (0.025 - 0.05 mg orally). It is also recommended to make injections - 2 ml of 0.5% solution of novocaine and 0.1% solution of adrenaline at the site of the bite. When an anaphylactic shock occurs, urgent treatment is required. In severe cases, appoint intravenous infusions of calcium chloride (10 ml of 10% solution). Also, prednisolone and hydrocortisone are administered internally. Also forced diuresis is required.

The greatest danger is stinging in the mouth. This happens when eating fruits, vegetables, jam, when an insect gets into your mouth with food. In this case, death occurs very quickly, and the cause is not intoxication, but the laryngeal edema and suffocation. In this case, urgent tracheotomy is required.

Prevention

How to protect yourself from stings and gadfly bites? The main thing that you need to do in order to ensure yourself a reliable protection against the bite of an insect is to take care that there is nothing close to them that could attract them. In order to prevent the bite of the horn, you need to keep away sweets, jam, compotes. Better not eat anything on the street. It is also important not to be in places where there are many insects, where flowers blossom. Dangers are meadows, thickets, where you can stumble upon a nest of insects. Also, you need to use special protective equipment, which can be purchased at the pharmacy.
