*Update*

Well I looked at the area where I was stung this afternoon while I was getting some shorts on... it itches LIKE CRAZY and its definately swollen... to the size of a softball.. or maybe a baseball... it just itches SO much! I don't want to itch it though, that will make it worse I think... Any idea what I should do?

I'm sorry for the late response. Take some benadryl. It'll help with the itching and swelling quiet a bit. It makes you very drousy, though. I believe that bacon fat takes some of the venom out of bug bites. But I think you have to do that right after the bite. It is probably to late by now. I'm allergic to bees, but I haven't been stung in probably 15 years.

We don't have Benadryl... ggggggggrrrrrr It's just bugging me... its all red and you can see where its swollen... its a different color then the rest of my leg... sheesh...

Even Neopsorin has some numbing stuff in it. It'll take the itch away a bit. Or Calomine (sp?)? I've even heard oatmeal will.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I don't think we have ANY of that!! (I guess no one gets seriously injured at my house... or eats oatmeal...) lol... I'll go look for some Neosporin... dad SWEARS we have some...

Meg any kind of antihistimane medication will help that itch, like teldane, clarantyne etc, other than that it will take it's time to come right, so hang on in there dear, all will be fine soon, I know they are very uncomfortable. HUGS

What does your Mom say? If it's that swollen, you probably should have it looked at. Sounds like you may need some medication for the swelling/redness. Bendaryl will help, but you should check with your Mom and Dr. first! Don't scratch!! And keep a cold pack or cool, moist, cloth on it when you're sitting down. Poor baby!

My dad was an EMT a few years ago and he said it is definately swollen, but nothing to worry about unless it gets bigger.

*ties hands to chair to stop from itching*

*sigh*

I know a psycological trick. hehe. I always tell my son to draw an X on his mosquito bites with his nail and then it'll stop itching. I swear it works. lmao.

[carole]

Meg those antihistimanes will stop that awful itch and possibly reduce the swelling somewhat as well, good luck, ewh I feel for you, I know that itch, drives ya crazy.

Oh u poor poor thing, I've been stung once & never want it to happen again.

aspirin makes my grandma bleed. When she was younger if she took it she would bleed down below, no that shes old(er) she bleeds from her nose.

Max once stepped on a bee hive & I was right beside him. I heard something & looked to my right.. HOLY DOO DOOS I swear there were hundreds of them looking right at us, ploting how to attack. I screamed & told Max to run, I was swearing & flapping my arms in fear of being stung. None were really bothering me at all. but Max had about 20 on him. I shoo'd them away with a rock. there was one left on his lower leg. I shoo'd it with the rock, & in slow motion I see it fly away to my right side & then double back at full tilt & it went behind me. WHAM!! the stupid tiny thing stung me & my friend thought I was insane. I was running around screaming, flapping my arms like mad & started rolling around on the ground. I hate biting bugs. After that whole ordeal, my friend had no idea what on earth scared me (until I told her)
& Max DIDN'T GET STUNG!!! Its not fair, he steps on the hive gets covered in bees & I'm the one that got stung
