How can you make a bee sting feel better?

Answer 1

=== === == == Nothing much.

Bee venom is acidic, so something alkaline would neutralise it chemically. However the venom will have been injected under the skin surface by the sting, and strong chemicals such as ammonia on the surface are more likely to do further harm than any good.

The most important thing with a bee sting is to remove the sting from the skin as quickly as possible (only honey bees) because even after the bee has gone the sting continues to inject venom for a while. It is better not to use tweezers or pinch the venom sac between your fingers because you may force more venom into the skin. Just scrape the sting off using a thumbnail, or something like the edge of a credit card. Use a cold compress to help with the pain and swelling. (Dock leaves or aloe vera are also reputed to help in this regard.)

Answer 2

this is a fairly impossible thing to do but...

if you can manage to catch a WASP and make it sting you in the exact same place the bee stung you theory is it will lessen the pain as it has some kind of chemical in it.

scientist have extracted the chemical that does this but it can not be soled unfortunately because of the health issue!

let me know if you attempt it!!

there is one other less risky thing that you can do but it is to late now i assume but you will know for future! you can simply suck the acid out but try not to swallow it (also don't forget to take out the sting with a pair of tweezers)! it can also work for other insects such as mosquitoes but done bother buying some kind of thing that does it for you your mouth works better than any of that other stuff!

hope this all helped

Answer 3

My bee keeping friends say (and I have tried it with good effect) raw onion. Slice a raw onion and rub the sting area (lightly) with the onion. Another remedy is sugar: put a drop or two of water on a sugar cube and hold it on the bee sting.

Answer 4

mix baking soda and water into a paste and put it on the affected area after the stinger has been removed. As the baking soda dries it will draw out poison and stop swelling. The cool paste will also soothe the pain.

Answer 5

Not a lot. If you're allergic, you need to go to an emergency room or call poison control. If not, you should carefully remove the stinger (be careful not to squeeze the venom sac) and then you can ice it for 10 minutes on and off. Also ibuprofen might help with the pain and you can try a topical antihistamine such as Benadryl or Hydrocortisone.

Home Remedy: as odd and disgusting as it seem, urinate on it. This is the same field expedience remedy used for bee stings and jellyfish stings.
