In summer time in the forest reigns grace. Trees are dressed in bright green finish, soft grass stalk on the ground. Air Napoêne sunset grass and sun-warmed wood. And if you find yourself in the forest in the morning, you can observe how the fresh dew falls on the grass and how many forest flowers are dissolved.

Summer Time is the best time to relax. Lucky to those who have the opportunity to spend it in nature, away from asphalt, transport, offices, and closer to reservoirs and forests, because sometimes summer weather is very hot and exhausting.

But dangerous insects-sherni appear together with a speche.

Very often people confuse shershins with axes – the appearance of these insects is much like. But the Hornet, whose bite is much more dangerous, has a larger size and contains neurotoxin in the poison. The Sherni are attacking those who encroach on their nests or make too sharp motions near them.

Like other representatives of this family, the Sherhni live in the nests. These structures are large enough and can have 10-tier honeycombs. Since the material from which the insect is built, there are birch branches and rot stumps, nests are brown in color. A favorite place for the village of Shershniv are the forests and well-lit forest lawns.

Despite the fact that Sherni do not enter the number of aggressive insects, they should treat them with apprehension. They attack if there is a real threat to the nest in which they reside, as well as for themselves.

When the threat posed by the insect secretes a special pheromone alarm, it is a signal to attack the insects that are nearby. When a single bite in the human body is 2 mg of poisonous substance, which does not cause significant damage. Painful feelings are amplified and inflammation becomes more severe if the amount of poison is great – in this case, even lethal results are excluded.

Death from a bite of this dangerous insect can only happen when a person is prone to allergies. In such cases comes an anaphylactic shock, accompanied by a stop of breathing and heartbeat. And then only timely resuscitation actions are able to return man to life. The problem is that the Hornet, unlike the usual OS and bees, biting several times, so the human body gets a lot of poison. In addition, the Hornet tries not to frighten, as they make other insects that have a sting, but kill. So often they can attack a bevy.

To protect yourself from these hornets, you need to avoid the visits of deaf forest plots. Noticing beside a shernya, in no case can not be missed from him. You need to quickly move away for a safe distance or hide indoors. Popular remedies for insect protection to apply against Shershins silly – most of them in case of attack will not help, but will only lead to deteriorating situation.

It is dangerous when the Hornet is bitten into the neck, head or mouth cavity. After all, these places are rich in blood vessels. In general, symptomatic after a bite of a schernya is characterized by swelling and redening of the place of a bite, fever, zapamoročennâm, sometimes decreased blood pressure and nausea, that is, the states requiring medical care.
