Treatment Of Bee Stings
If one is stung, the wound can be treated in the following ways:
* Remove the stinger with all haste, in whatever manner is most convenient. If you see a little black dot in the wound, part of the stinger is still present. I like scraping across the skin with a credit card to try to remove the stinger.
* Apply a solution of one part meat tenderizer to 4 parts water. Papain, the enzyme in meat tenderizer, breaks down the protein in bee venom responsible for the pain and itching. Don't leave this on for more than 30 minutes, or it can irritate the skin. If this isn't available, you might try an antiperspirant. Aluminum chlorohydrate reduces the effect of bee venom, but to a lesser extent.
* Apply cold. Use ice or cool water for 10 to 30 minutes after the sting. This blunts the body's allergic response.
* An antihistamine such as Benadryl, taken by mouth, can give some added relief, and help prevent the reaction from spreading.
* A shake lotion such as calamine can be helpful. A paste made of baking soda and water can have a similar effect.
* Topical hydrocortisone can also provide some symptomatic relief.
* Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for systemic pain relief.

Treatment Of Bee Stings...
fetch 2 credit cards "plastic"
go 1 by 1 beside the injected sting push in the side and it will pop out it'll hurt but it'll help get it out... then...........
Apply cold water or ice pack. Use ice or cool water for 10 to 30 minutes after the sting. This blunts the body's allergic response. taken by mouth, can give some added relief, and help prevent the reaction from spreading. also provide some symptomatic relief Bee stings cause immediate, painful red bumps which im thinking yours has done? In most cases, the pain has largely disappeared within 2 hours, although swelling may not be apparent until the next day. Large local reactions, larger than 3 inches in diameter, will often persist for up to a week. A physician should be consulted if the reaction continues to spread. best not to add Vinager ..!!! for many many reasons.. it'll just interfear with the sacked sting off venom as sed pull it out as quickly as possible use either tweezers, or a stiff, flat object, such as a "CREDIT CARD", and pull or scrape out the stinger. This is imperative to get the stinger to quit pumping venom into your system.
Whatever home remedy you prefer, just remember to get the stinger out quickly, check for allergies, and then treat the sting.

The person has to pour his own pee on top of the stung area. This might sound nasty for some people but it works. However, it has to be done immediatelly after the perosn is stung.
