One must respond very quickly:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not scratch or rub the area of the Sting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove the remains of any tentacles from the skin with tweezers or gloves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rinse the wound with\u00a0salty\u00a0water. Never use fresh water, since this activates the cells containing the venom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill a plastic bag with ice and place it over the wound\u00a0during\u00a010 minutes. Ice made of fresh water must never be placed directly on the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Treat the wound with iodized alcohol 3 or 4 times a day during 48 or 72 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the discomfort continues or causes tremors, nausea, dizziness or intense pain, one must go to a health\u00a0centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ASSSA Medical Services<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asssa.es\/en\/insurance\/health-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u><strong>ASSSA Health Insurance<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The information published in this media neither substitutes nor complements in any way the direct supervision of a doctor, his diagnosis or the treatment that he may prescribe.
