INSECT BITES AND STINGS

Insects were on earth long before we were and they’ll be here long after we’re gone. If you spend any time outdoors, there’s simply no way to avoid them – or the painful, itchy consequences. But there are ways to get quick relief from close encounters with the buggy kind. Here’s what doctors recommend you try.

Scrape off the stinger. When you’ve been stung by a bee, the stinger usually stays in the skin, where it keep releasing venom. To reduce pain and prevent swelling, it’s important to remove the stinger as soon as possible. Don’t pull it out, because squeezing the stinger can cause it to release more venom into the skin. An even better strategy is to scrape it out, using a credit card or a stiff cardboard.

Paste on relief. Applying a paste made from baking soda and water directly to bites and stings can help draw out the venom, which will provide quick relief and prevent the pain from getting worse.

Get help from the kitchen. Another way to stop the pain of bites and stings is to apply a paste made from a meat tenderizer that contains papain. This substance helps break down the proteins in insect venom, reducing the pain-causing punch.

                                                WHEN TO SEE THE DOCTOR

                   Most people who have been bitten or stung by insects won’t experience  

                   anything worse than a little itching and perhaps a painful welt. If you               

                   have allergies, however, insect bites and stings can be dangerous. In fact,           

                   a survey in the US revealed that more people die from insect bites and  

                   stings than from poisonous snake bites and from grizzly bear attacks  

                   combined. If you’ve been stung by an insect and are dizzy, nauseated, or

                   having trouble breathing, you should consider it an emergency. You could

                   be having an allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which can be life-

                   threatening. You need to get to a doctor immediately.

                  ************************************************************

Cool the area. Covering insect bites and stings with a cool, damp cloth will help reduce swelling and provide instant pain relief. You can also put ice in a plastic bag and apply that instead.

Dress in muted colors. Insects are attracted to bright colors (which is why many flowers are adorned with brilliant reds and yellows). To stop insects from seeing you as their meal ticket, it’s a good idea to wear subdued, dark-colored clothing when you’re going to be spending time outdoors.

No scents makes good sense. Just as insects are attracted to bright colors, they’re also attracted to sweet-smelling, flowery perfumes and soaps. When you’re going camping, experts say, leave the scents behind, including scented deodorants.

Load up on garlic. It’s not only vampires that are scared off by garlic. Some experts believe that eating garlic before going outside will make you less attractive to biting bugs.

Get plenty of thiamine. This vitamin, also called vitam in B1,  may give your perspiration an odor that many insects find unappealing, although it’s undetectable by humans.

2 iron Who can hit it?

Lee Travino once said "not even God can hit a 2 iron." There is no doubt in my mind that God could rip one 320 yards down the middle but i fell into this category of not choosing this club on the course because it was not reliable for me and my game. Now here is the reason for the post: I work at a natural gas plant with plenty of time on my hands and plenty of open field. It is so loud here that it is required to wear ear plugs, 7 Cooper Bessemer compressors each the size of a Peterbuilt tractor and trailor, and often pressures releasing that would drown out a jet engine. I tee up and can rip 2 iron after 2 iron down the middle every time with Tiger form: stinger, draw, and fade with excellent control. What the hell is going on? When I set foot on the course its like the club is cursed. Please tell me your thoughts. JP

Stonecrest Golf Course
Prestonsburg, KY
check it out, on top of the hills of eastern ky

I do a lot of work in and around Prestonsburg, KY, but I seem to never have enough time in the day to play golf there, as I'm usually lucky to finish work by 5 or 6pm. I don't have an answer for you, since I don't even use a 2 iron. I use a 3 iron is as low as I get and I can usually hit it around 200 yrds. If I need more than that, then it's time for the 3, 5 or 7 wood. Anyway, good luck.
