Answer

  • Treating a sting from a Japanese giant hornet?

    I initially used a venom extractor...

    Which worked somewhat..

    And I kept "sting kill" on the sting wound, wrapped in gauze and medical tape.

    I took a Hydrocodone every 6 hours,and a Meloxicam every 24 hours.I kept ice packs on my arm.

    For 5 days.

    :p

  • I keep dreaming I’m having seizures, how can I tell if they are dreams or if it’s really happening? ?

    Sometimes I wake up during the time it’s happening and I’m certain my body is twitching and Iv no control over it. It’s happened about 5 times since last year. I have an Apple Watch and at the time I have this dream my heart rate rises rapidly as if I’m having a nightmare or I’m suddenly very active. How can I find out if these are just nightmares or if I am actually having seizures in my sleep?
