Sting

Sting is a sharp, often painful sensation caused by a variety of factors such as contact with certain creatures (like insects or jellyfish), plants (like stinging nettles), or substances (like chemical irritants). It results from the release of chemicals or physical damage that irritates nerve endings in the skin or body, triggering pain or a burning feeling. Some stings can cause mild discomfort, while others may lead to swelling, redness, or more serious reactions. Understanding the cause and application of appropriate treatment can help alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.
