I've heard toothpaste, vinegar, and deodorant works but can't remember if its for the sting or to get the stinger out. There is also a weed called plantain(not the banana) that works for the pain of stings and burns. I know it sounds weird but it works like a charm.They sell it in a cream form in health food stores. Hope this helps.

The best way to get a stinger out is to use a credit card or other thin, flat surface and use a sraping motion to remove it. . .squeezing the stinger, with your fingers or tweezers, can inject more of the venom into your skin. After the stinger is out, apply ice, or make a paste out of baking soda and water. both will help ease the pain.
