Summary Introduction
To analyze:
A wasp stung a person, who is allergic to wasp venom, on the neck and her throat starts to swell and respiratory passage constricts. Determine the treatment between acetylcholine and epinephrine that would help in relieving the symptoms.
Introduction:
A wasp’s stinger contains a poisonous substance known as venom, which is transmitted to humans when wasp stings. It results in extreme pain, swelling, inflammation, and itching at the sting site. To relieve the symptoms epinephrine would be more useful.
