Encountering insects or spiders in areas like İncekum, Konakli, Mahmutlar, Avsallar, Okurcalar, Oba, Türkler, and Alanya is common. Knowing how to react to bites and stings is crucial.

Immediate Actions:

  • Stay Calm: Remain calm and still. Agitation accelerates venom spread.

  • Bee Sting Removal: If a bee stinger is present, carefully remove it.

  • Limb Positioning: For bites or stings on an arm or leg, initially lower the limb to slow venom spread. If swelling occurs, elevate the limb and apply ice to reduce it.

Recognizing Severe Allergic Reactions:

Some individuals experience severe allergic reactions to insect bites and stings. Seek immediate medical attention if you observe any of the following symptoms:   


  • Difficulty breathing.

  • Swelling of the lips, tongue, eyelids, or mucous membranes.   

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness.

  • Nausea.
