Scrape the sting area with a sterile needle to remove the stinger – tweezers will add venom to the sting site…

Hypothermia Hypothermia The best medicine is prevention. Wear clothes designed to keep you warm in
the cold. Wear lots of thin layers of clothes instead of
one heavy coat. If you get warm and sweaty, take off a layer to let the sweat dry. If you start feeling cold again, add layers of clothing.
Drink and eat a lot, so your body has plenty of “fuel” to generate heat.
In a group, watch out for hypothermia’s symptoms in others. They may not realize they are becoming hypothermic.
