How To Treat A Bee Sting.
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.
