I'm from the south and we use tobacco (from a cigar or cigarette) mixed with a little water to make it stick. Let it sit for a minute then scrape the area with a credit card or something similar to remove the stinger. Moist tea bags are supposed to work also.
Benadryl cream is your best bet!!!

I put a penny on a wasp sting when I got stung 2 months ago. It took the pain away and there was no swelling. I put it on with a bandaid and left it on for like 20 minutes. It sounds silly but it does help. I was amazed!

When I was younger I was stung 28 times after standing on a wasp nest. I passed out, and the doctor told me to use arnica cream. It works wonders.

When my daughter got stung, I made a paste out of baking soda and put that on it. You can also use a piece of raw bacon or a dab of nice mud. Each of these things act as a drawing substance to pull out the poison. Take some tylenol or ibuprofen. Good Luck.

A paste of baking soda and water or vinegar. I had to use that on my husband a lot when he got stung while mowing the lawn.

I always use meat tenderizer mixed with a little water to make a paste and let it set on it. the compound breaks down the protein in the sting.

Make a past with baking soda and water and apply it to the sting. Worked for me when I was a kid!
