1. Take the stinger out with a credit card edge or something similar,  as soon as you can. If the stinger is still in your body, the venom will continue to spread.

2. Clean the sting site with soap and water. Put honey
 or vinegar on the wound and cover with a loose bandage.

3. Use Ibuprofen Motrin or Benadryl to help with the pain.  You can get these from your local hospital or pharmacy.

4. Monitor for allergic reactions. Allergies from bee stings can come  minutes after a sting or hours. Some symptoms of allergies include swollen areas, vomiting, itching, dizziness, and hives.

Over The Toilet Bowl

Over The Toilet Bowl.

As I lent over the white toilet bowl a gross substance crept up my throat and burst out my mouth. I quickly flushed the substance down the toilet. I rinsed the disgusting after taste out of my mouth.I walked out into the lounge.
