I got STUNG!!!

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!

boy do I REMEMBER that feeling lol
If there was no stinger left then it was a wasp (those suckers can sting more then once, a bee will leave its stinger in you & then later on die).

Heres a funny wasp story (just to make you giggle).

I was walking my RB dog Max in the forest with my friend. We were on the old traintracks & I was tossing a stick into the bush for Max to scent track & return. Then 1 time he came back out with nothing & a sad look on his face. So I said where is it & followed him in. I knew it was near the pile of old traintrack logs, but wasn't sure where (it was a big pile lol). As we were walking on the pile I heard a crunch (its been so long i forget who did it), then bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz OMG there were MILLIONS! It looks like a shot taken from the movies, you know the BIG ball of bees! Well thats what i saw infront of me. I yelled MAX RUN (its a command he knew) & pointed & i ran too.

My friend was standing on the tracks waiting for us when she heard me yelling & both of us tearing out of the bush. I was doing that OMG GET THEM OFF dance, you know whipping your arms all over & looking like a fool lol
I was yelling BEES MILLIONS RUN (there was LOTS of swearing, but I wont post that lol).. So Max & I kept running. Max had them ALL over his fur. I took stones & was gently tossing them at the bees on him & brushing them off with larger stones. Max was good, didn't move a muscle. Then I saw one on the less hairy part of his leg & was worried that one would sting him (the other couldn't sting him due to his fur), so I brushed it a little too hard & the bugger was now PISSED & in slow motion I watched him from the corner of my eye, fly behind me & STING!!

Thats when I went crazy! I was screaming GET IT OFF IT STUNG ME & really freakying out. My friend wouldn't even go near me

After I stopped freaking & ran about a good 1/2 km down the tracks I stopped & started walking back towards my confused & scared friend (I think we were 15-16 then). Max was fine, no stings & no sore spots. My sting wasn't pretty. it was about the size & shape of a golf ball cut in 1/2..

Stupid freaky little Wasps (I don't know what kind they were but they were green looking). Just glad they wen't yellow jackets, THOSE don't stop attacking!

Yep! I think one of my realtives told my mom to do that for me, when I got stung 'up north' at Wisconsin.
It also helps for sun burns! Had to do it yesterday, my back was not feeling so well.

Hmmm, I thought that was for bee stings? I always heard that bee stings were acidic, so putting baking soda on it would neutralise the acid and relieve the pain. Wasp and hornet stings are alkaline, so vinegar will neutralise them. Or have I got that the wrong way around?

I don't know but when it happened my hubby told me to pour vinegar on it, so I did lol.

I still have a mark from that sting lol
