What's the best first aid for a Yellowjacket sting?

Answer 1

My kissing your boo-boo.

Answer 2

What to Do:
Bee, Wasp, Hornet, and Yellow Jacket Stings
A bee will leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Try to remove it as quickly as possible. One way is to gently scrape it out with a blunt-edged object, such as a credit card or a dull knife.
Wash the area carefully with soap and water. Do this two to three times a day until the skin is healed.
Apply a cold pack, an ice pack wrapped in a cloth, or a cold, wet washcloth for a few minutes.
Give acetaminophen for pain.
For pain and itching, give an over-the-counter oral antihistamine, if your child's doctor says it's OK; follow dosage instructions for your child's age and weight. You could also apply a corticosteroid cream or calamine lotion to the sting area.
A sting anywhere in the mouth warrants immediate medical attention. That's because stings in the mucous membranes of the mouth can quickly cause severe swelling that may block airways. You should seek medical care if you note a large skin rash, a large area of swelling around the sting site, or if swelling or pain persists for more than 72 hours. You should seek immediate medical care if you notice any of the following signs, which may indicate a serious or even potentially life-threatening allergic reaction:
wheezing or difficulty breathing
tightness in throat or chest
swelling of the lips
dizziness or fainting
nausea or vomiting

Answer 3

For mild reactions:

* Move to a safe area to avoid more stings.
* Scrape or brush off the stinger with a straight-edged object, such as a credit card or the back of a knife. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Don't try to pull out the stinger; doing so may release more venom.
* To reduce pain and swelling, apply a cold pack or cloth filled with ice.
* Apply 0.5 percent or 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or a baking soda paste — with a ratio of 3 teaspoons baking soda to 1 teaspoon water — to the bite or sting several times a day until your symptoms subside.
* Take an antihistamine containing diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Tylenol Severe Allergy) or chlorpheniramine maleate (Chlor-Trimeton, Teldrin).

See source for info. on severe reactions.

Answer 4

Put a baking soda paste on it (baking soda mixed with a bit of water into a thick paste). After it dries you can brush it off and put more on to soothe it. You can also put an icepack on it to ease the swelling. If you can see a stinger in the owie, ice it to numb it up a bit and use a tweezers to pull it out then put the baking soda paste on it.
Ouch. SOrry that happened to you. Bees are SO beneficial though. WIthout them we wouldn't have all the fruits and veggies and flowers and stuff.
