⏱️ 3-Step Immediate Action Protocol
1
0–60s
Step 1: Immediate First Response (0–60 Seconds)
Scrape out the visible stinger immediately using a credit card edge or fingernail. NEVER squeeze with tweezers (squeezing injects remaining venom).
2
5–15m
Step 2: Kitchen Dispensary Countermeasure
Apply a thick paste of Baking Soda (alkaline) or crushed fresh Tulsi (Holy Basil) leaves mixed with a pinch of edible lime (Chuna) or raw onion slice directly over the sting.
3
24h
Step 3: Stabilization & Next 24 Hours
Wash with alum (Fitkari) water after 15 minutes and apply a thin film of cold coconut oil with camphor (Karpura) to arrest residual allergic swelling.
🚫
Never Do This (Contraindications):
Never scratch the sting site or apply mud/dirt (carries high risk of tetanus).
