Now came the summer and spend a lot of time outdoors, there are increased chances to have not-so-pleasant encounters with some ... residents. Below you will find brief instructions on first aid if you have any such come across.
Sea
• TSOUCHTRES: There are many species and not "bite" all. They consist of a "hat" and many tentacles minutes (in some species in the Atlantic and reach 10 meters), where there are thousands of small "balls" are nematocysts. These contain a toxin and a hard body gathered as a spring. When in contact with a hard surface (such as skin), the nematocysts break and the spring enters the skin releasing the toxin. The same can be done by friction or by osmotic pressure (fresh water) and thus have decreased and new data hours after contact. Many times the seaway tentacles break and sail freely, resulting in contact with our skin and have no symptoms to see jellyfish.
Addressing: Avoid rubbing the area or to take fresh water to break the non-intact nematocysts. Pour in alcohol or gasoline to inactivate the toxin and cause thickening of the wall of intact cysts. After rinsing the area with salt water, add talcum powder or fine sand in order to create a "blaster" which rive with a sharp object scraping it. In this way we remove the "springs" and unaffected nematocysts. Rinse again with salt water and put a cortisone cream.
• SEA ANEMONES: Belonging to the same family as jellyfish. Some species are attached to rocks on the sea shore, like films and as we sit on the beach can easily get in touch with them. Cause milder symptoms of jellyfish and the treatment is the same.
• URCHINS: In the Mediterranean have fortunately not poisonous. The damage caused by the penetration of thorns on the skin, resulting in pain, irritation and possibly later develops.
Addressing: try with tweezers to pull the thorns that stick, carefully, without the crack. Clean the area, often putting pads with vinegar (the spines are composed of calcium carbonate and acetic acid in vinegar dissolve them).
• DRAKAINES - SKORPINES: Its fish, which are usually buried in the sand and so can easily, be pressed. At their back have 1 to 2 big spikes, which have the poison. Once bitten us, we feel intense pain immediately and soon the point blushes and swells. Some sensitive individuals may experience symptoms of allergic shock.
Ambulance service: We are trying to draw point and suck the poison (marketed special pumps that suck the venom of snakes, scorpions, etc.). It would be, if we can, to plunge the member into very hot water or to approach closely the snuff smoke, because with the heat inactivated venom. Local treatment with antibiotic cream and cortisone, as well as medical help if the symptoms are generalized,
On Land
• SFIKES - BEES - ARACHNES: causes severe local reaction to prick them, such as redness, swelling, itching. In some people it can cause stinging allergic shock.
Addressing: If the bee sting is, carefully remove the stinger. Local putting ice packs to slow the spread of venom. Topical cream with cortisone and antibiotic, if generalized symptoms, ask medical advice.
• Ticks: Are insects with a small head and claws with which they strongly adhere to the skin and suck blood. Can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and fever of rock samples,
Addressing: Before you try to remove the insect put an alcohol swab for 5 to 10 minutes. In this way paralyzes and loosen the jaws. Then with a pair of tweezers trying slowly but surely to tear ourselves away without cutting the head (if left, disinfect the area and put antibiotic cream with cortisone. It is good after about 2 months to check for disease Lyme.
