Wound Care & Applications

Immediate treatment of any wound or sting is extremely important to lessen the chance of infection and scarring. It was once believed that keeping a wound uncovered, allowing it to get air, caused the wound to heal faster. Many studies since then have shown this is simply not the case. By allowing a wound to remain uncovered it gives it an increased chance of being exposed to bacteria and thus causing infection.

Bee/Hornet/Wasp Stings

– Remove the stinger as soon as you can.

– Wash the affected area with soap and water if possible.

– Apply 1 -3 drops of BugBiteDr and gently rub in with clean finger or Q-tip.

– If the sting is on an arm or leg, elevate it for 10-15 minutes.

– Apply BugBiteDr throughout the day or as long as itching/swelling/pain is present.

– WARNING – Some people may not realize they are allegoric to Bee/Hornet/Wasp Stings.  People who are not allergic early on in life may become allergic later on.  If swelling has not subsided after 20 minutes or you notice any shortness of breath or have trouble breathing.  Call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

Mosquito/Fly/Ant/Spider Bites

Ticks

While BugBiteDr will reduce the swelling from a tick bite. BugBiteDr will not treat or kill Lyme disease. If you think you have been infected with Lyme’s, seek medical attention immediately. The faster Lyme’s is detected, the easier it is to treat with less complications down the road.
