I cannot think of any common substance in toothpaste that would have much beneficial effect on even a recent bee sting, let alone one that was already a day old.

What do you put on bumble bee sting?

As bee stings are acidic you need to put a akaline on it to neutrilise it. Out of day to day items you can put washing powder or toothpaste other the sting. This may sound weird but it does reduce the swelling, ichyness and pain.


How do you cure a sweat bee sting?

I have found that toothpaste or green tea bags rubbed on the sting and then putting an ice cube on it works to re-leave the pain and decrease the swelling. Also normally healing in half the time if green tea bag is used throughout the day... so if you get stung by a sweat bee brew a pot of Chinese green tea and save the tea bags for your sting and enjoy a nice relaxing cup of tea...


What is the difference between a rainy day and a bee with a cold?

There is no difference between a rainy day and a bee with a cold, because they both sting.


Do bees loose there stingers after they sting?

A bee's sting really evolved in order to sting other insects. An insect's exoskeleton is hard so when the bee's sting penetrates it creates a hole big enough for the bee to withdraw the sting easily even though it is barbed. The bee's problems come with animal flesh. It is elastic so the hole produced as the sting penetrates closes up again and traps the sting. If the bee is given time, it can often withdraw the sting by going round and round as it pulls, but in most cases the animal's (or human's) reaction means it doesn't have the time, so as the bee pulls away in fright the sting gets left behind together with the venom sac and the muscles that pump the venom. The bee will die of the injuries caused some time between an hour and a day after.


What happens to a honey bee after it stings you?

What happens to a bee after it stings someone depends on whether it was able to pull the sting out of the victim. If it can, the bee will just fly away and no harm comes to it. By a cruel trick of evolution, a bee's sting is barbed, and animal flesh is elastic and tends to grip the sting so it is likely that as the bee tries to pull away the sting is pulled out from the bee's abdomen together with the venom sac and the muscles which pump the venom. The bee will then fly away, but its injuries are such that it will die from them somewhere between an hour and a day after.


How will know if the stinger is in the next day?

If a bee stings you and leaves the sting behind it will also leave the venom sac and the tissues around the sting. There is no mistaking the fact it is there. If you can't see anything, the sting was removed.

When a wasp has already stung someone does the wasp die or does the wasp live?

A wasp, unlike a worker bee, has a smooth sting, so can withdraw it after stinging. So, the wasp is not injured and lives to sting another day.

What does the bee do to you when it stings you?

It punctures your skin with a barb and then pumps venom through the barb into your body which causes pain and localised swelling. If this is done by a honey bee, the bee cannot retrieve the barb and will die. A wasp however, can retrieve the barb and live to sting another day.


Is it normal for a bee sting to hurt the next day?

Yes, it is normal for a bee sting to hurt the next day. The pain can persist due to inflammation and the body's immune response to the venom. Additionally, some individuals may experience lingering soreness or discomfort as part of the healing process. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by severe symptoms, it's advisable to seek medical attention.


How do you care for swollen cat paw?

You should always be careful and take your cat to the vet, but if money is your issue then I suggest finding out the cause of why your cat's paw is swollen. I looked online and it had a lot of reasons and the number one (that also applied to my cat) was a possible bug bite or bee sting. Usually the swelling will subside within a day or so if it was stung by a bee. Spiders/scorpions bites usually cause irritation around or on the pad of cat's paws. [Cat's bat at bugs so more than likely, if it's an outside cat, this is the case.] There's also other reasons, I suggest going here: http://www.luvmycritters.com/Cat-Health-Swollen-Paw.html


Is the sting of a female European carpenter bee Xylocopa violacea dangerous?

In my experience, the day before yesterday morning, not dangerous but painful for a couple of days. much like a wasp sting but with less swelling. However they make a lot of noise buzzing and dream of delivering great big stings in proportion to their impressive size. Mike Lean
