Venom is continually injected from the stinger for about 2-3 minutes. There is often a delay for a few seconds which leads to more venom being injected.

How long does it take for damped tobacco to remove a bee stinger?
The barb (stinger) should be removed as quickly as possible using a finger nail, credit card, knife edge or something similar before any treatment is applied because the stinger will continue to pump venom into the wound until it is removed.

Why do you want to remove bee stingers carefully and quickly?
The bee has not only left the sting, but also the venom sac and the muscles that pump the venom, and they continue to do so for a minute or more after the bee has gone. So, for as long as the sting remains in the skin, more venom is being pumped in. When removing the sting, rather than using tweezers or gripping it between finger and thumb, scrape the sting out using a thumbnail or something like the back of a knife or the edge of a credit card. If you squeeze the venom sac you may force more venom into the wound.

What should you do if your daughters eye is swollen from a bee sting?
First Aid For Bee stings As long as the victim is not allergic to bee or wasp venom these are the recommended treatments. First you need to find and remove the stinger. The bee leaves its stinger in its victim and it had a venom sac attached which will continue to release venom. Look for a raised welt (red spot) and using a magnifying glass if needed locate the tiny black dot in the center of the welt. Do not use tweezers or try to pull the stinger out with your fingers. You will end up squeezing more venom out of the sac and into your body. Use a hard flat object like a credit card pull to scrape the stinger from the wound. When you have removed the stinger , wash the wound with gentle soap and water or use an alcohol swap to cleanse the area. Apply a cold compress like wet wash cloth or ice cubes in a wet cloth, to the area. There are home remedies like a cold wet tea bag (tannin has drawing action) Baking soda paste(not good around the eyes) but benadryl creme or like product will work best. Apply cold until swelling reduces.
How long for a rattlesnake to refill the venom sacs after a snakebite?
It depends on how much venom was used in the bite. Snake venom takes time to replace, and they only use enough venom to subdue their prey. Replenishing can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day.
What draws a wasp stinger out?
A wasp's stinger (or a bee's stinger for that matter), is actually called an ovipositor. It is a hollow and somewhat pointed tube used by the wasp or bee to lay eggs. However, it is also used as a 'defensive' weapon when the wasp or bee stings something or someone. There is a small venom sack attached to it. So, the wasp or bee has a choice on what to eject from the "stinger," either an egg, or venom, depending upon how the bee or wasp is using its "stinger."The stinger is usually at or near the rear of the insect. So, it is not in the mouth of the wasp or bee. When a person is stung, they are poked by the stinger, not bit.Since the "stinger" is actually designed to lay or deposit eggs, only female bees and wasps can sting. Male bees and wasps cannot sting because they have no stinger and cannot lay eggs. The stinger can vary in length, depending upon the wasp or bee species and may be quite small in some species, a few tenths' of a millimeter long, or may be quite long, over 10 centimeters, again, depending upon the wasp or bee species. Some wasps can sting, some cannot sting (or perhaps do not know to sting). However, I have been stung by wasps that are very small, 1 - 2 mm, and wasps that are large. And I have not been stung by larger wasps with very large stingers. So, the wasp's size is not a very good indicator of whether a wasp will sting or not.If the stinger is jagged or barbed, like a worker honey bee, the stinger is torn out of the bee when it stings someone, and thus kills the bee. When the stinger is smooth, like for many wasp species, the stinger does not pull out, and the wasp can sting as many times as it wants or feels the need to do.

How long does it take for a rattlesnake to resupply venom?
If a rattlesnake totally exhausts its venom supply it will take several weeks to fill its venom sacs again. This is why rattlesnakes do not want to use their venom in defense as it may leave them with an insufficient supply for obtaining food.

Do honey bees sting people?
All bees are capable of stinging except for drones. Drones are male bees that do not have a stinger. Their only purpose is to mate with a queen bee. Once the summer mating season is over, the drones are killed.
