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.

How long will bee stinger remain in my finger?

A bee stinger can remain lodged in your skin for several hours if not removed. The stinger is attached to a venom sac, which continues to pump venom into the skin until it is removed. It's important to promptly remove the stinger by gently scraping it out with a flat object, as this can minimize the amount of venom injected. If you experience severe pain, swelling, or an allergic reaction, seek medical attention.
