Welcome back! We missed you all on the fourth of July it was sad to not do a podcast. This week's podcast is full of crazy events. Hyrum's mission buddy does the music for the opening and closing songs. We hope you enjoy listening to Hyrum try to sing, Nathaneal and Caleb making their life plans, and Hyrum trying to figure out his life. Come share your laughs and giggles with us as the poopensquash of the week requires another question for Dr. Brad.
Post your votes for poopensquash of the month for the month of June. Love the comments love the listeners sorry to let you all down on the 234 birthday of the United States of America!

So Up to Date says to remove the stinger. Duh, I think that's obvious.
ReplyDelete"Bees (and occasionally yellowjackets) have a barbed stinging apparatus that becomes lodged in the skin and rips away, along with the venom sac, from the insect's body following a sting event. Stingers should be removed as rapidly as possible after a sting by any means possible, because venom can continue to be released for several seconds. However, after the first few seconds, no special technique (eg, flicking to avoid compressing the venom sac) is necessary, since the venom should be fully expelled already [4]. Remaining stingers should be removed because they can occasionally cause foreign body reactions. "
And then they say ice, antihistamines, and oral steroids can be used if needed.
"Cold compresses are soothing acutely. The limb should be elevated if the sting is on an extremity.
Oral prednisone, 40 to 60 mg given as a single dose or rapidly tapered over 2 to 5 days, may help reduce significant swelling.
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce pain.
Pruritus can be treated with oral antihistamines (eg, cetirizine, 10 mg once daily) and high potency topical corticoid steroids (eg, fluocinonide 0.05 percent or clobetasol 0.05 percent ointment, applied every four hours) until the itching subsides."
Sorry it's a week late, you're probably well over the symptoms of the stings, but oh well.
P.S. loved the intro and concluding music! Go Hyrum.
Thanks, Dr. Brad! We can always count on you!
