Centipede is a toxin insect that many people hate and fear because of its strange appearance. Centipedes often appear in some humid places, and there are many hot places, so they often appear in summer. And the city we live in, right, there will not be a lot of centipedes to survive, but in an environment like the countryside, there will be a lot of centipedes.

If you are unfortunately bitten by a centipede, then you must first clean the wound, disinfect the wound, then apply ice, and finally bandage it.

Centipede is one of the five poisons we recognize, but although martial arts will secrete venom, its venom can be used in medicine, and some adults can often be seen using centipedes or snakes and other poisons to soak in wine. Therefore, Wu Gong has also become a commercial product, and there will often be friends in the south to catch centipedes and sell them. The consumption of centipedes in our country is still quite large.

For example, some remote mountainous areas or some relatively poor areas will use some local plants or insects to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains as a means of survival.

If you are bitten by a centipede, the wound will definitely have a very severe pain, which will make people panic and fearful, but in fact, there is no need to be nervous, we mainly carry out some correct operations, we can effectively control the wound bitten by the centipede in a short time. The first step is to clean the wound, to see if there is some dust on the wound, or the stinger of the centipede is still left in it, be sure to remove these debris, and then rinse it with water.

Then use some medical drugs to disinfect to a certain extent, so that the second infection can be effectively avoided, otherwise even if the wound is bandaged in the later stage, the wound will still expand to a certain extent. This is followed by a cold compress, which is a very important step to prevent the blood around the wound from clotting and preventing toxins from entering the bloodstream. Secondly, ligation is also a very effective means of preventing toxins from entering the bloodstream.

However, ligation also depends on the situation, if there is ischemia, then the wound site should be relaxed. Of course, this is just some very simple operations, and you need to go to the hospital immediately to do it**.

A doctor told me that the unilateral treatment of centipede bites can be detoxified in time without taking other drugs. This recipe is to mash the pit with fresh yellow peel into a paste and then apply it to the affected area. If the wet medicine has dried, apply the new medicine again until you no longer feel uncomfortable.

Now that it is the season of yellow peel, if you can put the fresh yellow peel core in a glass bottle and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh, you can use it urgently at any time regardless of the season.

Extended reading: What to do after being bitten by a pet (pictured).

After being bitten by a pet, whether to be vaccinated or not, the following two aspects should be considered: one is to see what kind of pet bitten by. Biting your pet if yes:

Unlicensed dogs, dogs of unknown origin; Quasi-dogs, but have not been vaccinated for more than 6 months; Rabid dogs or pets suspected of having rabies. In these cases, rabies vaccination is required. Sometimes, even if you are not bitten but are scratched or licked through mucous membranes, you may also need to be vaccinated.

In summer and autumn, when the temperature rises, the land is moist, and the vegetation is verdant, which is the time when venomous snakes are frequent. Working in the fields and playing in the wilderness can be bitten by poisonous snakes. After a venomous snake bite, in addition to causing local pain and bleeding, venom can also spread rapidly from the wound to the whole body through blood circulation, causing systemic poisoning reactions, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
