How do you cure a bee sting ? ???

Answer 1

take the stinger out without breaking it(use tweezers or something hard like a credit card to scrape it off)

than disinfect the wound

Answer 2

First don't use tweezers since it will push more of the poison into you if the stinger is still there. Ice is what my book says to use. Others have said to try many things but you don't want a bee sting and a infection on top of it so be careful of what you use. Bleach is a chemical and should never be placed on the skin but if you must dilute it with water. ( your body will absorb the chemical in bleach thats not good) If you feel sick in anyway, sweaty redness in other places on your body, hives, throat seems tight or dry mouth and seems hard to swallow then go to doctor now. You are having a reaction to the bee sting. All of the answers of different things people have tried are good ones since that's what our parents and grandparents used ...even taking bread and putting a small amount of water on it placing it on the area and holding the sides down with tape but letting the center breath to dry out so it will suck out the poison.
(not good for a bee sting) But there are many of those home remedies but basically you can cause a infection for most with them or make it worse. Ice basically will make your veins smaller and restrict swelling to ease the pain. The doctor can give you some good ointment that does help. See a doctor though if you are concerned that you are having a allergic reaction. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you ice it to take the swelling down and they put on some Adolph's meat tenderizer, it will take the stinging sensation out.

There is an enzyme in the meat tenderizer which will take away the pain and draw out some of the venom from the sting.

Answer 4

Weird way - (tried it on my girlfriend and it worked) Tobacco - take some out of a cigarette and hold it on the sting spot - it will absorb the venom from the stinger. Use a pretty good amount though

Answer 5

Gently remove the stinger with a pair of tweezers. Wash the area with soap and water, apply a cold washcloth or ice pack and take some Tylenol for the pain.

Answer 6

This may sound crazy but to get the stinging out, i use bleach. It helps my kids and myself when we get stung. You dont have to use alot, just put a little on a wash cloth and rub the area with it. I have also heard meat tenderizer is really good for them but i havent tried that one.

Answer 7

Make a paste or plaster from Baking soda.

Apply it to the area, make sure the stinger is out.

I would just a couple tablespoons of water to 1/4 cup of Baking Soda to make the Plaster.

Answer 8

baking soda and vinegar or water, just a little bit on the sting will do, it draws the stinger out.

The chewing tobacco thing works also, but takes longer.

Answer 9

I heard baking soda is good for bee stings, im not sure how exactly you should apply it. aloe vera should help too

Answer 10

You don't. You only manage the symptoms. Ice, elevation, ice, and more ice, along with drinking lots of water. Benedryl if needed. After 12 hours, exercise, more water, more ice and more ice.
