Swelling from a Sting

[JuniorxMyxLove]

OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!! haha I've seen someone get stung in their armpit, the top of their head, and between their toes(tried to kick the wasp away) but never on the pinky. hmm. ouch i bet it hurt. haha i got stung on the forhead once, it swelled up and was all sore for a few days. i HATE getting stung..thats why i leaveout sugar dishoap and water (mixed together) to attract bees/wasps/hornetsand japanese beetles and KILL THEM! haha got off topic there, sorry....

I got bitten by a spider camping a few years ago on my ankle...it got all swollen and red and itchy, sounds like what you have? idk. my friend told me it was a jumpng spider (but don't believe my friend!) I just put anti-itchy cream on it and forgot about it, and it went away after a while.

then once i got stung by a black hornet (my sister was stung twice, we hit the nest on accident with a broom) on my leg (poor leggie!) and it got all swollen and I think itchy..i was allergic to BLACK hornets but not regular hornets or any sort of bee or wasp. but it was so bad I had to take a special medicine that my doctor gave me for a week or two. it was either that or getting a bunch of shots. haha. maybe this is what happened? i dunno.

just thought i'd let you know.
hope it gets better!

Check with a doctor. They could tell what stung you.

I got bit by a spider a couple weeks ago and where it bit me was a big, red bump. It was itchy too. Try putting mud on the sting. It helps the itch and the swelling go away.

Feel better!

You know, you should realy learn to keep your hands out of the way of those pesky stingers!!

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

Thank you

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 I really thought that wouldn't work. but it seems like it did. and the itching is really minimal now too.

WOOHOO thanks
