Most bites and stings will heal on their own without a visit to a doctor. There are several things you can do to relieve pain and itching and prevent infection from a bite or sting.
* Move away from the stinging or biting insect. Bees will alert other bees, making them more likely to sting.
* Remain as calm and quiet as possible. Movement increases the spread of venom in the bloodstream.
* If you have been stung by a bee and the stinger is still in the skin, remove the stinger.
* If you have been stung on the arm or leg, lower the limb at the time of the sting to slow the spread of venom. If swelling is present, you can elevate the limb to help reduce swelling.

Considering a bee sting consists of a histamine, an anti histamine would be in order... the most potent of the vegetable world is the simple onion. Cut one up and rub the juices on the sting. May save your life some time. Has been done before.

Try baking soda mixed with water. As it dries, it pulls out the poison. It works on fresh mosquito bites, too.
