Summer is the time of nature, because we usually spend a lot of time outdoors. But along with this, it can also bring inconvenience in the form of bites of various insects - mosquitoes or midges, which are super aggressive this year, explains dermatologist and venereologist Natalia Popova:
“The bites of midges can be very unpleasant and lead to itching, skin irritation and inflammation. To avoid insect bites, do not forget to take repellents with you to nature or a walk or pre-apply them to your clothes. Clothing should be as closed as possible. Install mosquito nets on your windows, you can additionally treat them with an insect spray. Install fumigators in the room where you are going to sleep, but the room must be well ventilated. For children, you can buy special bracelets from mosquitoes..
If you have an allergic reaction to insects, according to the doctor, it would be useful to have a drug containing adrenaline (epipen) in your medicine cabinet, which a person can use on their own if necessary.
“But if someone has bitten you and those places are swollen and itchy, then you should have means in your arsenal that can easily eliminate unpleasant symptoms, the doctor continues. - In addition, there are several tips that can be safely used in everyday life immediately after a bite. Start by washing the bite site with soap and water. Then apply a cold compress to the bite site (ice can be put in a towel or napkin) or make a soda compress - 1 teaspoon per glass of warm water - to reduce itching. If the bites are accompanied by severe symptoms or the situation does not improve for a long time, consult a specialist for advice for additional help and prescription of stronger remedies.
