Yes! Got stung by a hornet a few days ago. It had swollen up, itched like crazy and was hot to the touch. Have taken 1 50mg Hydroxyzine at bedtime (last night was the 2nd night) and today the "heat" is gone and it is MUCH better.
When a bee stings, it injects venom that is a mixture of multiple compounds, including histamine, dopamine, and melittin. Melittin is the main component responsible for the pain and inflammation associated with bee stings.
The acid in substances like vinegar or lemon juice helps to neutralize the alkaline venom in a bee sting, reducing pain and inflammation. This reaction can help alleviate the symptoms of the sting.
Treat bee stings with an alkali, such as a paste of baking soda and water, to help neutralize the venom and reduce pain and swelling. Avoid using acid-based substances like vinegar, which can further irritate the sting.
