Bites and Stings

Living in New Zealand and enjoying outdoor pursuits means we are exposed to all kinds of creepy crawlies. Sometimes we encroach on each other's territory with painful results. The two biggest risks with bites and stings are allergic reaction and infection. By acting fast we can minimise these sometimes-unpleasant effects.
