Sting relief

Have much experience, am not an MD, but I have spent the night in a super 8. :lol:
So take this for what it is and the source...a lying assed duck hunter. :lol:

In my experience you need to do first aid immediately but in the heat of bee battle is not always possible.
Scrape, don't squeeze, the stinger off.
It's pumping venom in.yup.

If you forget you'll take a full dose it keeps pumping a while.

ASAP hot shower or bath as hot as you can stand it.
Increases your circulation, spreads the venom out, so it don't hurt so much. It's still going to at least itch.

I took a full one on the leg today and had to hop in the shower. It's not so bad now.
