One person every 22 seconds searched for information on recognising and treating bites and stings
I'm Paul Hutton with news that the NHS has revealed that searches for information about insect bites and stings on its website surged ahead of this bank holiday weekend. One person every 22 seconds searched for information on recognising and treating bites and stings. While they're not usually serious and get better by themselves after a few days, sometimes they can lead to infection or allergic reaction. The NHS website is available around the clock for information about almost a thousand conditions, and you can get more help and treatment by visiting your local pharmacy.
