The cause of fainting may be very different: strong emotion (fright or joy), want of food, fatigue or pain.

In fainting the person loses consciousness. Blood doesn't get to the brain. The face of a person before fainting gets very pale and sweat appears on his forehead. He feels dizzy and weak. The person falls unconscious. His breathing is shallow. His pulse is weak and slow. If you help a person who lost his consciousness:

1. Lay the person flat on his back.

2. Raise his feet a little.

Stings and Bites


Sting – укус (ужалити)

Bite - укус

Insect - комаха

Midge – мошка

Flea – блоха

Bedbug – клоп

Tick – кліщ

Mosquitoe – комар


Stings and bites from insects are common. They often result in redness and swelling in the injured area. Sometimes a sting can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction.

If you are in pain or the bite is swollen, you can take painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Insects that bite include: midges, mosquitoes, fleas, bedbugs and ticks.

When an insect bites, it releases saliva that can cause:

inflammation (redness and swelling), blisters and irritation.

The symptoms of insect bites can vary depending on the type of insect and the sensitivity of the person who is bitten. For example, some people may have a small, itchy lump after they are bitten, which only lasts for a few hours. Others may develop a more serious reaction, such as blistering and a number of itchy, red lumps.

If you work outdoors or regularly take part in outdoor activities, such as camping or hiking, you are more likely to be bitten by an insect. Exposing large areas of skin, such as your legs and arms, leaves you open to being bitten.

If you have been bitten by a tick, remove it as soon as possible to reduce the risk of getting a tick-borne infection.
