Bee sting - IN PAIN!!!

[Deleted]

I went to check the mail and got stung by a bee on the bottom of my foot WITH my flip flops on! I don't see a stinger, just a tiny red hole. Ithurts so bad!!!! If I had world trade secrets I'd be talking right about now! What should I do for it? Owwwww!

I got stung on my thumb once, and my stepmom told me to pee on it because that would "totally take the sting away"........ then I cried all afternoon (I was 10) that my thumb hurt AND had pee on it. lol

Sorry, I don't know what to do, maybe ice? Lift your foot above your heart? I hope it feels better soon!

Ouch!

Baking soda and water paste. Hope it feels better soon! I stepped on a wasp once. It sucked!

Meat tenderizer, vinegar and water to form a paste can also help. 1 tbsp of each. Apply to the wound. It might bubble a little. Let sit for 15-20 minutes then apply an ice pack. Once the ice pack warms, the pain is usually gone.

I can't tell you what to do because I would be on my way to the hospital. My foot would be to the size of a bowling ball and I would be having trouble breathing.

I'm not to sure about the meat tenderizer though, we use this on proud flesh on horses to eat it away.

Thanks for the suggestions! The baking soda paste helped I think. I took two benadryls and an aleve and went to bed early. Today the spot is a little sore and itches like nobody's business, but at least that awful firey stinging pain is gone!

Meat tenderizer paste for next time - it probably won't help now. You have to do it right away. It works by breaking down the proteins in the bee's venom.

Ouch. I had a stinging bug (not sure what it was because it happened os fast) kamikaze dive at me and stung my nose. Then it tried crawling up my nose. It was swollen for a week. I say take some advil and ice the sting are.

I did that two days ago - I walked right into a bee and it stung my big toe- OUCH! I'm sorry. Vinegar sounds plausible, it works for bee stings.
