Did I get stung by a bee?

What do you do when you get stung by a bee?

  • my son just got stung by a bee and he has the stinger on his foot, should I take it out? please help!

  • Answer:

    -Have someone stay with the victim to be sure that they do not have an allergic reaction. -Wash the site with soap and water. -The stinger can be removed using a 4x4-inch gauze wiped over the area or by scraping a fingernail over the area. **Never squeeze the stinger or use tweezers. It will cause more venom to go into the skin and injure the muscle.** -Apply ice to reduce the swelling. -Do not scratch the sting. This will cause the site to swell and itch more, and increase the chance of infection. -Antihistamines are helpful. Diphenhydramine is always in my pack when I am in the outdoors. You can also pick up other antihistamines, for example an H2 Blocker like Tagamet (generic name Cimetidine) which can also be helpful.

Then dab it with milk - bee stings are acidic, milk is alkaline helps to neutralize it.
