How an you treat a wasp sting and a bee sting?
baking soda and water mixed together until it looks and feel pastythen rub it on the area. That's how you treat a bee sting-but when,at the exact time, you are stung by a bee …you must try your best toget the barb out-because it contains poison. I suggest not to dothis by tweezers because that squeezes more poison into your body.A knife, or ask a doctor to help, would do better.
