Today, I am going to share one of my experiences with you. Then I just completed my S.S.C examination. That day one of cousins came to our place so my brother and I had a great day. After passing a busy and joyful day I felt tired. So, I said goodnight a bit early and went to my room to set up the mosquito net. But, when I was tucking the net, suddenly a flying insect (looked like a grasshopper but small in size and color was light ash-black) caught my eye-sight. And, without thinking, I Hold it to throw it out. Oh...then in a wink, it pricked on the skin of my right wrist. I felt a pain just went up through my lower arm to above. I obviously became anxious, after a while I felt pain in my abdomen, I got allergy on my body (itching and rashes). After that I felt a bit breathing problem. I rushed to my mom though I put some antiseptic on the infected area. My mother did not make any delay to take me to the nearest doctor's house. But, on the way, I had a blur vision, I was watching yellow and black type color was hopping around! So, what to do ?
1. Don't touch insects with bare hands.
2. If you get prick, wash the affected area.
3. You better put antiseptic (cream/liquid) on the affected area.
4. If you feel any difficulties, for example, allergy on your skin (rashes/itching/ breathing problem/pain in the affected area or any other part of your body/ get blur vision ( I think, it is dangerous), please go to the nearest doctor's chamber/hospital/clinic immediately.
5. I think, if you have allergy related problem, you may take a anti-histamine tablet before seeing a doctor.
6. Remember, some insects may have poison ( more or less).
Well, after reaching our known doctor, he examined my wound (a very little hole). Then, he gave me anti-histamine and a pain killer. I took them immediately. Taking medicine and hearing from him, I felt good, though it took more time to feel better. And, the doctor informed me most probably, I had allergy in my throat so, I felt a bit breathing problem.
N.B. please never touch insects ( specially unknown are prohibited)! Take care.

Noa, thanks for venom....venomous snakes.
Most insects have some sort poison/venom as their natural guards as well as to kill their prey. We always need to be careful with them, even if they look very beautiful.
It was when I completed my S.S.C examination.
Thanks a lot,misha for correcting me.
After reaching our known doctor, (No preposition needed).
Allergy in throat is very dangerous and needs immediate medical attention.
(This was advised to me by my doctor).
Taking medicine and hearing from him I felt good, though it took more time to feel better.
Thanks, stranger and smith for reading.
Very wise advices. I already have become such victim, but in my case wearing clothes without jerking them first.
It is not out of place to tell that this is our Prophet (PBUH) Sunnah to wear the hanging clothes after having jrek them.

Thanks for your experience. Allergy can be life-threatening, especially when you have difficulty breathing. I'm glad you were so lucky.
