With Anzac Day approaching on Monday 25th April, it’s time to pull out the tents and s’mores supplies! The days of camping trips, picnics, hiking through the woods, and late-night campfires are upon us. This also means peak season for pesky bug bites and bee stings.
So what to do when it happens? While most bug bites go away on their own, treatment can provide symptom relief, pain relief, and eliminate the risk of disease. Our custom-designed insect relief kit provides everything you need to handle the dozens of mosquito bites on your outdoorsy little girl or the bee sting that brings chaos to the family picnic. The kit includes only what you need to save the day:
Cold Pack: apply to skin for initial soothing of a sting; do not apply longer than 15-20 minutes at a time
BZK Towelettes: apply to affected skin to prevent infection; contains antibacterial to protect against the risk of disease; also helpful for burns and minor cuts
Hydrocortisone: apply small amount of cream and gently rub in the skin to relieve irritation and rash; the area should be left open immediately after; hydrocortisone is a steroid that acts to reduce swelling and redness of a bite or sting
Antihistamine: take tablets as directed on packaging to prevent allergy symptoms; temporarily protects against histamines which attach to cells in your body, causing swelling, itchiness, and fever
Sting Relief Towelettes: apply wipe to the affected area for fast-acting temporary itch relief
