I always use water and baking soda when I get stung, works pretty good, especially if you do it immediately after you get stung. Feel better hun!:)

LOL I know.... that'll teach me to mess with bugs. I'll remember that next time lol

Well I didn't think to do it right after getting stung lol hopefully two days later will be just as effective :D

Thank you :p

I've heard you can put amonia on it and it helps...don't know if it works though, I've never had to try it.

WOW. I dont' know if it's just coincidence or what....

but i tried the baking soda thing last night. Nothing was happening at the time but today the swelling is half what it was. i can almost bend my finger :D I really thought that wouldn't work. but it seems like it did. and the itching is really minimal now too.

WOOHOO thanks
