1. What kind of bee is killer bees?
Killer bees usually refers to two kinds of bees, one is the hybrid offspring of European bee subspecies, African bee and American wild bee, and the other refers to wasp. Mi Yue's legendary killer bees should refer to wasps.
The remnant, also known as wasp, wasp and wasp, belongs to Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera in classification, including remnant family, remnant family and Hemiptera. There are more than 6,000 known wasps in the world. Among them, Rhizomelidae is a kind of parasitic bee without a hive, so it is definitely not the killer bees in the Legend of Mi Yue.
Hornets are very big, several times larger than bees, with bright body colors, usually yellow or red, and occasionally some black or brown stripes. Unlike bees, which have no fluff, some have bristles on their chests and bellies. The biggest difference with bees is that they don't die when stung by bees.
Every autumn, drones and virgin queens will collectively leave the nest, the queens will climb on the ground with their tails up, and drones will wander around the hive looking for their wives. The wasp is a mixed system, and both male and female wasps can mate with many spouses. Then the queen bee will store her semen in the seminal vesicle for life. Then the drone finished its mission and died. Dead.
The wasp wants to build a nest, which is called a hornet's nest. The next spring, a queen bee began to build her own nest. The queen bee first built a nest handle, then a three-bedroom house, arranged in a zigzag pattern. She can rest until her first daughter is born. Mother bee is responsible for the safer work in the nest. When she is old, she can go out to hunt and fight.
Wasps, like bees, are haploid, and only females are holomorphic. The difference between worker bees and queen bees depends on what they eat.
Wasps are carnivorous insects, unlike bees. When hunting, they will first catch the prey with their feet, if they can't catch it, they will anesthetize the prey with a needle, and then chew the prey into a meatball and take it home. But sometimes wasps try something new and eat vegetarian food. I especially like sweet substances. Alcohol generally refers to fruit fermentation, and aroma refers to nectar. It is not surprising that the Gongzi Party and Gongzi Ji were attacked. I just want to find something to eat. (wasp wronged face)
Wasp larvae have some very special phenomena. Their chrysanthemums don't defecate, but make a hole in their bodies, and then hang a bag, and all the feces inside are discharged. Natural anal fistula.
Moreover, when larvae eat meatballs brought back by worker bees, they secrete a white liquid for worker bees to eat. Mutual benefit.
1. What the hell is wasp venom?
In fact, wasps generally don't harass human beings, and they don't bite people unless they are disturbed, especially chemicals. In "The Legend of Mi Yue", the smell of alcohol given off by childe after drinking is a chemical substance. So is the fragrant clothes on childe Xiaomi.
Animal toxin is a chemical weapon gradually evolved by animals in the fierce competition for survival in nature, which is used for self-defense and predation. The venom components, detoxification methods and functions of each poisonous insect are different according to the environment and food.
Residues also have poison glands, which secrete bee venom into poison sacs. When in use, it is discharged from the stinging needle. Wasps that are not in the wild do not have much venom. The wasp venom is light yellow, yellow, yellow, volatile, bitter (I don't know who has tasted it), viscous and acidic in pH value. It will be inactivated when heated to 100 degrees for 30 minutes. Soluble in water, oil and acid.
The chemical composition of bee venom is extremely complex, which contains many active substances. Simply put, there are biogenic amines, peptides, enzymes, amino acids, adrenaline and so on.
Biogenic amines mainly include histamine, serotonin and acetylcholine. Their function is to cause pain. Moreover, there are many biogenic amines in wasp venom, so it is not surprising that it hurts particularly.
Polypeptides include neuropeptide, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, vespid kinin, etc. They can make blood pressure change, smooth muscle contract, increase the permeability of blood vessels and cause pain. Trypsin can break down kinins. In addition, there are hemolytic peptides, neurotoxic bee venom peptides and mast cell degranulation peptides that induce mast cells to produce histamine.
Enzymes include hyaluronidase, phospholipase A, phospholipase B, hydrolytic protease, etc. Enzymes, as macromolecules, are the main substances causing allergies. The main function of hyaluronidase is to catalyze the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, and to open channels for the penetration and diffusion of other substances in bee venom. The role of phospholipase is to catalyze the hydrolysis of glycerol phospholipids, leading to cell membrane rupture and hemolysis.
The main purpose that wasps need venom is to paralyze their prey. The ancients found that wasps often brought all kinds of bugs home, and soon wasps flew out of it. The ancients thought, oh, you wasps are all males and can't have children. You have to raise other people's children. The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? Xiao Yuan said, "The moth has a son and lost it." So the ancients called the adopted son the son of a moth. But in fact, this is not an introduction. The wasp just paralyzes its prey, lays eggs in its body and treats it as food for larvae.
The wasp can properly inject venom into the abdomen of the beetle's first pair of feet, resulting in paralysis of the beetle's motor nervous system, or even paralysis for a month without death.
Third, what happens if you are poisoned by wasp venom?
The stung part will have redness, fever, needle-like pain, dizziness, headache, stomachache, vomiting, diarrhea and elevated blood pressure. Some will also have poisonous needles. After being stung, some people will have difficulty breathing, swallowing and being upset (no wonder it hurts so much). If the whole body is stung, the whole body will feel pain and numbness, and the renal function will also be damaged, resulting in proteinuria. If it is more serious, it will be pale, cold limbs and symptoms of shock.
In the legend of Mi Yue, it is true that poisonous gas attacks the heart, because many substances in bee venom are toxic to the heart. Can cause myocarditis and hepatitis.
The incident of wasp wounding mainly occurred in July-165438+ 10, when the number of wasps in the hive was the largest. Boys' paper is particularly fragile. Who told you to take the initiative? Try not to touch the grass, take the main road, get down when you meet bees, and don't wrap your body in clothes, because wasps are only interested in white and moving objects. I wish I wasn't dead.
Fourth, how to solve the wasp venom?
Pull out the poisonous needle first (pain, bear with it). Apply vinegar or 3% boric acid to the wound. If you use herbs, you can mash ginger, garlic, purslane and dandelion and apply them to the wound. You can also rub the swollen part with Artemisia annua and mint leaves.
Seven leaves and one flower are effective because it can relieve swelling and pain, but it is not enough to be called a magic medicine. Ji Desheng Snake Pill is effective for wasp sting, and contains seven leaves and one flower. You can also inject Qingkailing and Shengmai injection to diminish inflammation.
In order to treat allergies, chlorpheniramine should be taken orally. At the same time of intramuscular injection of adrenaline, a large number of vitamin C and glucose solutions were intravenously dripped. Adrenal glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone should be added when breathing and swallowing are difficult, and tracheotomy should be performed if necessary. Every doctor in every hospital has different treatment methods. The above is just an example.
5. Is bee venom good for people?
Of course, there are benefits. Bee venom, like bee venom, has many benefits to human body.
For example, it can resist rheumatism: the polypeptide in bee venom can resist inflammation, inhibit immune function and capillary permeability, and excite adrenal cortex function. Bee venom ointment produced in Germany is used to treat rheumatism.
For example, anti-tumor: wasp venom can inhibit cell replication, treat tumors, and have a strong killing effect on tumor cells.
For example, in the treatment of allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, Bayer Company of Australia produced vespa venom injection for treating allergies.
It can also resist HIV. Melittin can improve the function of T lymphocytes, inhibit virus replication and inhibit the expression of HIV gene, thus weakening its infectivity.
In addition to the above, it can also diminish inflammation, relieve pain, resist bacteria, resist radiation and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are many benefits anyway. But you don't want to be bitten by a wasp and talk about the benefits of the dose. You are also a hooligan!
