Treating a Bee Stings

Make a paste for a bee sting of baking soda and water. Rub this over the area where the bee has stung. It will take the swelling down and also the sting and itch associated afterwards.

RE: Treating a Bee Stings

I just got stung and tried an old country remedy. I had a small sting which was moderately swollen.

Twenty minutes after the sting I applied a slice of potato to the sting.

It sucked out the poison, eliminating all itch and all of the swelling.

AMAZING and cheap!!

RE: Treating a Bee Stings

After making sure the stinger is removed, apply ice for 20 minutes, then apply toothpaste. The ice relieves swelling, pain and itching, and the tingling of the toothpaste relieves the itching while the alkalinity of the paste (some have said its the glycerin thats in it) relieves pain and reduces the venom.

Bee Sting Remedy

If you get stung by a Bee, if the stinger is still in your skin, gently scrape it off, then sprinkle a bit of meat tenderizer directly on sting and add a few drops of water to make a thick paste.

This works great! But if you are allergic to stings get medical treatment also.

Meat tenderizer also works well for this.
