I got stung walking in my daughters room, there was a wasp on the floor. I thought I stepped on a nail. But no a wasp stung me. He stung me on the side of my foot. The pain hurts like crazy. I tried the baking soda and water and it helped. I got the stinger out with a toenail clipper. I had to go to work. Now I'm using the penny with tape. It is working so far!

The toothpaste deal worked great! I tried onions and a penny, but the toothpaste worked best. Bees are bums! They do not show up to pollinate in Ohio, but they hang around ripened fruit, the lazy freeloaders!

While trimming hedges, I discovered a hidden wasp nest located within, as I was stung three times. I applied a medicated ointment containing eucalyptus, camphor and menthol to my leg and hand, which gave a quick soothing relief from the pain. It did not, however, prevent swelling; both areas swelled two to three inches and remained that way for a number of hours. By the following day, all symptoms were gone.

My 10 year old son was stung by a wasp this 4th of July. He was stung twice in the inside of his thumb. He is quite a tough kid, but when I saw him running from the deck where he was attacked through the kitchen window, holding his arm and yelling in pain. I thought he must have broken his arm somehow. My sister witnessed it, and confirmed it was a wasp. He fought off the tears, and told me it was the most painful experience of his 10 years. Within 20 minutes, his hand was noticeably swollen, within several hours, at least 10-15% bigger than his other hand. By the next day, I couldn't identify the wrinkles at the bends of his fingers. His knuckles were undetectable. I called the doctor. The nurse said it was localized reaction, and to take 1 teaspoon of Benadryl. Now at day two, July, it is still quite swollen.

Got stung twice and tried the toothpaste solution. Seems to really work.

I was moving a plant and felt a sting on my thumb. I immediately backed away as several wasps flew out. I started putting ice and it felt a little better but after a couple of minutes it started throbbing. I read where someone used toothpaste and I tried it. Guess what! It WORKS. The pain went away and it's still a little swollen but at least it stop hurting.

Yesterday I encountered an angry wasp that decided to sting me twice on my hand. I immediately washed the punctures, put ice for 30 minutes, and the swelling was controlled, but today 24 hours later the spots where I got the sting is itching badly.

I was stung many times by wasps as a child. My mother always rubbed raw onion on the site and that relieved the pain and stopped the swelling. Now, many years later, I was stung yesterday by, I think, a hornet. I applied the raw onion and this relieved the pain immediately. Today, 24 hours later, the place where I was stung is still a bit sore and red but I think without the onion, it would have been a lot worse!

I just put a small amount of toothpaste on the infected area. Then right after a few minutes it didn't swell anymore and the pain was gone. This treatment is very effective!

Ice pak and rubbing alcohol is what I used to treat my sting.

Wasp sting treatment Included cleaning the site with warm water and then using an ice pack for 20 minutes ever hour for two hours. Popped aBenadryl and two Tylenol and applied a topical bee sting swabs from a first aid box. Site is still swollen three hours after care but it seemed to help with the initial sting.

My 12-year-old son just got stung by a bee on the soft skin on the soft fleshy part of his finger. He immediately removed the stinger and I ran cold water over it while I prepared an ice pack wrapped in a towel. The wife went and got Benadryl and acetaminophen. The tears have stopped, swelling appears minimal, redness around sting is obvious, but calm is returning to the house.
