I got STUNG!!!

[sparks19]

LOL Last night I got stung by a wasp or hornet I can never tell the difference. It got me right on my knuckle of my ring finger and MAN did it hurt. When it first happened I thought I burned myself on something. I thought "hmmm why is the BBQ on" lol then I saw the bugger fly away. I can't even remember the last time I got stung.

Brian took care of me though lol. but now I always wondered why Dr's compare needles to bee stings. "OK it's going to feel like a little bee sting" MY A$$ lol I have never had a needle that hurt as much as this sting did lol.

Thank God I'm not allergic like my brother is.

it is really itchy today and it hurts like a bruise lol. is there anything I can put on it to take the itch away?

Oh I wish I could help you, but I have NEVER been stung. Sounds like it is far from a pleasant experience.

Try putting meat tenderizer on the site. It sounds as if the stinger is still in your hand. The meat tenderizer will draw the stinger to the surface so you can remove it. It'll also take away the itch and soreness.

Wow I never knew that. My husband tried to see if the stinger was in last night but it was bleeding so he couldn't see. I hope we have some meat tenderizer thanks for the tip

Wow, donna, I remember hearing that a long time ago - forgot all about it. I may try it, too, next time. I got stung at the dogpark just a few days ago - OOOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH! fortunately Im not allergic either. I just soaked my foot in cold water for about half an hour, then it wasn't so bad.

To get the stinger out, brush a credit card over the site. If you squeeze the site, it'll release more of the toxins in the stinger. If you don't have any meat tenderizer, you can use mud. Yes, mud. Mix up dirt with water to a paste and pat it on the site.

Hey, at least I remember SOME of my 20 years as a paramedic!

Ooohhh! That must've really stung! You poor thing!
I've tried this before, and it really seemed to work for me!
Okay, get some baking soda and add a little water, and mix it into a fine paste. Next, put the paste onto your sting, and let it dry til it hardens. Try this, and let me know how it worked!
