You make a paste out of Baking soda and water and apply to sting....
I would also recommend Benedryl type antihistamine and ChiggerPlus topical cream, and a pain med to decrease pain if it hurts....
Carefully remove stinger if you can, I have heard taking the edge of a credit card and lightly scraping site is better than tweezers...

Actually any soda crystals will do the job, if the sting is acidic.
Another unheralded anti-sting treatment is vinegar......... excellent defence against alkaline stings and most insect bites.
For the common Nettle sting; rub the rash with a crushed Dock Leaf, for immediate relief........... then get your revenge by urinating on the offending Nettle Bed!

Greetings: Just common kitchen soda, (Cow Brand is one) mahe a paste with water, and apply. Mud also seems to work. Try to make sure the stinger is removed. Using scents seem to attrack these peskey critters as well. Good luck John T
