Question

match the appropriate care to the specific bite or sting.

• scrape the stinger away with a plastic card
• soak with affected area with vinegar
• keep the affected area lower than the heart
• remove the embedded insect with a fine-tipped tweezers

bee sting jellyfish sting sea urchin sting snakebite tick bite

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each care method and its corresponding bite/sting:

1. Soak the affected area in hot water: Sea urchin stings can be treated by soaking in hot water to neutralize toxins.
2. Scrape the stinger away with a plastic card: Bee stings leave a stinger; scraping with a plastic card (not squeezing) removes it without injecting more venom.
3. Soak the affected area with vinegar: Jellyfish stings (some species) are treated with vinegar to inactivate nematocysts.
4. Keep the affected area lower than the heart: For snakebites, this slows venom spread through the circulatory system.
5. Remove the embedded insect with fine - tipped tweezers: Tick bites involve an embedded tick, which is removed with fine - tipped tweezers to avoid leaving parts behind.

Answer:

• Soak the affected area in hot water: sea urchin sting
• Scrape the stinger away with a plastic card: bee sting
• Soak the affected area with vinegar: jellyfish sting
• Keep the affected area lower than the heart: snakebite
• Remove the embedded insect with a fine - tipped tweezers: tick bite
