I got STUNG!!!

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!

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

I got stung the other day too. The bugger flew right into my neck and stung me! I wasn't even moving around or anything! It hurt a lot, then the next day I had a big, itchy bump. Yuck. Stupid things.
