Excerpt from American Practice of Surgery, Vol. 3 of 8: A Complete System of the Science and Art of Surgery, by Representative Surgeons of the United States and Canada
The bites of the smaller insects, such as fleas, bedbugs, ticks, etc., cause only a slight irritation; those of mosquitoes often cause well-marked wheals which may persist-for some time.
Bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets inflict a sting which is much more painful in character and often attended with considerable swelling; where the stings have been multiple, considerable shock and constitutional disturbance are likely to result.
The treatment of insect bites ordinarily consists merely' in extraction of the sting, when one is left in the wound, and the application of alkaline solutions.
