wasp stings

[lollymay]

ive just stood on a wasp and its stung me and it really hurts.

absolutly brilliant as its a few hours before my prom

is there anything i can put on it that isnt medication as we dont have any in the house?

if you go to a chemist near you they should be able to help. witch hazel or something like that may helpto numb the pain, but try and get the sting out aswell

[lollymay]

ive already pulled the sting ou did that as soon as cos i didnt realise what it was untill to late.

Put something acidic on it, like some cotton wool dipped in Lemon Juice from your fridge. The acid should neutralise the Alkaline in the sting, and stop it hurting. Works for me, anyway!

[Luna]

white vinegar is also good for it

[lollymay]

ok i think the sting has got infected - is there anything i can put on this?

[CrazyLea]

I normally use vinegar :D But if it's infected you shoud go to doctors/hospital....put your mind at ease or something hun...

When I had a wasp sting at my nana's house she put vinegar on some bread and wiped it on my arm and it worked. It's probably alright now, but its just a tip if it happens again. My mum just puts Sudocrem on if she gets a wasp/bee sting or a migie bite or something.
