Oldbury, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/05/2010 -- ChemistDirect.co.uk is aiming to take the sting out of summer with a range of products dedicated to tackling wasp stings, following reports that the number of "stings" has doubled in recent weeks due to the hot weather.

The problem is set to increase further as summer enters its final weeks because although the wasp season officially starts in April, during August and September the young adult wasps ("workers") born in the spring leave their nests, meaning there are a lot more flying around than there are at other times of the summer.

During these early autumnal months wasps also become more dependent on food and will therefore aggressively seek it out, meaning they are more likely to deliver a sting if bothered.

Others which were busy bringing up and feeding larval wasps, keeping the nest in shape, are also free to hunt for food, especially with the fruit on trees ripening. Wasps are also attracted by meat, so BBQ's will always attract their fair number.

The ChemistDirect.co.uk product range aims to tackle the growing problem with a variety of products aimed at prevention, protection an after care. Products on offer include a mixture of sprays and antihistamine tablets which can be viewed at http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/search_results.php?q=wasp+stings.

If you are being bothered by a wasp, you are recommended to leave it alone or move inside, as trying to swat it will simply make it angrier and therefore more likely to sting you. When a wasp stings, a pheromone is released in the venom that signals other wasps nearby to attack the same area that was already stung.

If you are unlucky to be stung, remove the sting immediately by scraping it away - don't pull it as the sting is barbed you apply a cool pack and take appropriate medication.

If you're stung in the mouth, eye or throat, or in any doubt about the sting's severity, seek seeking urgent medical advice from a doctor.

Smethwick, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2009 -- For many people in the UK the arrival of winter unfortunately brings with it chapped and dry skin issues. ChemistDirect.co.uk offers a great selection of hugely discounted skincare products specifically designed to combat sore, chapped and dry skin without the use of harsh chemicals.

Excessive dryness during the harsh winter months can be caused by many factors, including cold weather, harsh winds, low humidity and central heating. Many people, particularly people with dry skin, choose to change their moisturiser with the seasons as they often find they require a richer textured moisturiser during winter to help combat the increased dryness.

Due to harsh ingredients found in many cosmetic products and environmental pollutants, skin related problems have increased 10 fold in recent years. The relationship between chemicals and skin problems has motivated doctors to focus their skin care efforts on eliminating chemicals and recommending skin care products that contain natural ingredients. Mitesh Soma, the founder of Chemist Direct, advises that "a great way to help improve your skin and get healthy, soft, supple and hydrated skin this winter is to try traditional approaches such as exercise, nutritious meals, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking and a good daily skin care routine with cleansers and moisturisers containing no harsh chemicals."

"Natural skin care products that are free from parabens and artificial colours or fragrances that contain naturally active ingredients such as shea butter and natural essential oils can help protect our skin from the cold winter breeze and harsh free radicals in the environment that we can't avoid" says Soma.

People are increasingly turning to more natural, organic skincare products rather than the likes of heavy cold creams containing all sorts of nasty chemicals that were once the norm. Chemist Direct offers a great choice of natural skincare products for all skin types. These include top selling products such as Trilogy 100% Pure Rosehip Oil 20ml at £12.99 (RRP £15.99), Weleda Wild Rose Day Cream 30ml at £8.50 (RRP £8.95) and Burt's Bees Hand Repair Kit at £13.49 (RRP £14.67).
