Answer 1

Wasp hurts worse by far, the best thing to do is make sure the stinger is out,and several things you can put on it. Wet tobacco,Benadryl,Caladryl, Cortisone,Witch Hazel,Tree Tea Oil. And The Bee dies.

Answer 2

The Stingers

For most people, being stung by a bee is a minor nuisance. The affected area may get a little red or swollen and it may be slightly painful, but that's about it.

Bees, yellow jackets, and wasps carry a sting that can cause real problems for people who are allergic, though. As with spider bites, a person can get a localized allergic reaction (swelling, heat, or itching of the skin around the bite area) or a systemic allergic reaction.

In the case of a systemic reaction, the person may break out in hives. Other symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, faintness, and swelling. If a person has these symptoms, it's important to get help immediately. It hardly ever happens, but severe allergic reactions to bee stings can be fatal if the person doesn't get medical help.

Answer 3

Vinegar on a wasp sting, soapy water (or another alkali, as bee stings are acidic) on a bee sting. The idea is to neutralise the poison they inject which makes it hurt. Wasp stings are alkaline, so adding acidic vinegar neutralises it, and vice versa for bee stings.

I'd imagine a bee sting would be worse, because the stinger stays in you, but I've only been stung by a wasp. Either way they both hurt!

Answer 6

Depends on if you are allergic to either, but typically a wasp can inject you with more venom and sting you more than once. A bee dies and leaves it's stinger in you as a general rule of thumb. A good way is to take an ice cube and put it on the sting this will drw out the stinger and the venom.

Answer 7

They're probably both about equallly bad. The bee dies because his stinger gets ripped out, whereas a wasp can sting you as many times as he wants.

I got stung by what I think was a wasp once on my stomach. I took a cigarette, tore it up, wet the tobacco, and stuck it to the place I was stung with a bandaid. It quit hurting pretty quickly and healed within a few days.

Answer 8

To me, a wasp sting hurts worse.

The bee dies after it stings you because it has a barbed stinger that pulls out of it's body, where as a wasp's stinger doesn't...it can come back and sting you again.

You can use white vinegar to draw out the swelling of a sting...can also take benadryl. I've also heard that you can put moistened tobacco on a sting to draw the swelling out.

Answer 9

A wasp sting is worse.
A bee dies after it stings you.
If you are not allergic then scrape the stinger off with a card. Don't pluck it. Apply ice to take down swelling and ease pain. If no ice use saliva as it has enzymes which will ease pain.

Answer 10

No, both wasps AND bees die after they sting you. And wasp def. hurts worse than a bee. The best thing for it is ice and mix a little baking soda with water (until its a thick paste) and rub it on the sting.
