Everett Urgent Care Advisory to Campers: Surviving a Water Bug Bite


Absolutely nothing spells summer fun like spending it in places like the Flowing Lake Ground Campground in Snohomish, WA. The Flowing Lake is considered the largest and deepest lake in the county, which is why most vacationers flock here over the summer for camping and water activities like swimming, fishing, and water skiing.

The Flowing Lake is also home to thousands of species of insects and bugs that help the wildlife and vegetation around it flourish. However, not all of its tiny residents are friendly to humans. The urgent care providers around Everett have an advisory for campers who plan to stay and make full use of the lake’s amenities.

What are water bugs?

From their name, you can correctly assume that these little critters mainly reside in water (freshwater to be exact), but they can also be found in well-lit areas as they are attracted to light.

Everett Urgent Care Center Discusses Minor Injuries While Camping


Now that sunny days are here, a lot of summer traditions are going to see a revival. Case in point: camping! People everywhere will be spending parts of their summer exploring the great wilderness. Of course, while the idea of camping is exciting, it can also be dangerous. Anything from bumps, bruises, cuts, scratches and more might occur while in nature. U.S. HealthWorks, operator of an Everett urgent care center, lists the minor injuries that people might face and the first aid treatment that they would require.

Sprains

Sprains occur when the ligaments that connect your joints become damaged due to trauma, e.g. tripping, jumping down from a high area, or falling down at an awkward angle. To treat sprains, remember the acronym R.I.C.E., which stands for rest, ice, compress, and elevate.
