Bites & Stings First Aid Awareness

Most insect bites and stings are minor, but some cause infections or severe allergic reactions, and animal and human bites can easily become infected. Learn first aid for insect stings, tick bites, animal and human bites and adder bites, and when to call 999 or seek NHS advice.

This course provides first aid awareness only. It does not replace practical, hands-on first aid training from a qualified provider, does not make you a qualified first aider and does not meet workplace first aid training requirements on its own. Always call 999 (or 112) in an emergency and follow your organisation’s procedures.
