Bee Sting

2. Apply 20% aluminium sulphate solution (Stingose) or methylated spirits.
3. Apply ice to the site.
4. Rest and elevate the limb that has been stung.

Sandfly (biting midges) bites

For some reason, possibly the nature of body odour, the use of oral thiamine has been suggested to prevent sandfly bites. Evidence is scarce.

Dose: thiamine 100 mg orally, daily
