Ep222 Medication: Bite and Sting Creams

A bite or sting can be painful and itchy, but not every bite requires emergency treatment. Bite and sting creams can provide effective relief for minor reactions, but it’s important to understand their role and recognise when symptoms may indicate something more serious.

In this episode, you’ll learn what bite and sting creams are, the different forms they come in, when they’re indicated, and when they should not be used. You’ll also discover common over-the-counter products, including Stingose®, and why recognising the signs of anaphylaxis is far more important than simply treating the bite.
