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...
