Have you or anybody else you know ever been stung by a bee or wasp before? I was at the beach laying out and a huge wasp landed on my lower abdomen. Before I could shoo it away, it dug it's bloody stinger into my abdomen and I was howling in pain the whole day! What did you do about yours?

We always use vinegar on all types of bug bites - cider vinegar works best. Saturate a cotton ball & hold it on the spot. The swelling goes down & it also takes away the pain & itch.

Oh yes,
being stung is not pleasant.
unless you have a reaction the pain will go away
it is good idea to cleanse where you got stung. Bees wasp sting a person when they don't expect.

2 years ago i got stung by 3 bees and one wasp. the wasp sting hurt the most out of all the stings. i even got stung on the butt( i sat on a bee in my car), and that did not hurt as bad a the wasp sting on my finger. i feel your pain.

INSECT BITES: Take one part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and add a small teaspoon of cinnamon powder, make a paste and massage it on the itching part of the body slowly. It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or two.
or
apply apple cider vinegar directly to the sting several times daily

I've been stung by 2 bees. Both times, my throat closed up and I had to be rushed to the ER in anaphylactic shock. Now I carry an Epi-Pen with me.

Yes I have . my mom's a nurse and has us put baking soda that is mixed with just enogh water to make it moist and you put that on let it harden and when the pain is gone you can wipe it off. If there's no baking soda available mud will work.

Yes.
I washed the spot good with soap and water. The soap kills the venom.
