Man oh man !!! I got a bee sting on my toe a couple hours ago and I am in soooo much agony!!!....the stinger is out...I have popped two tylenol,iced it with frozen peas...now mush peas for my hens ....

What else can I do?Thank God it wasnt one of the kids hanging out here today ....I guess it must like the smell of my stinky shoes...

You might try taking some benadryl.

Would that take the sting away?

It will cut down on swelling and any other systemic reaction you might have. Toes are bony, that's why it hurts so much - I was hit on both feet in the 'index' toe once, I feel your pain!

Bendaryl would control the histamine response and swelling ... do you have any epsom salts to soak it in? That might help it feel better.

Oh ! i want my Momma !!!
I am going to go get the benadryl
and steal the salts from the horse emergency kit ....Its been 4 hrs

I like the "After Bite" gel pens, they work great to ease the pain, and subsequent itching, but in a pinch, I have crumbled up a Bayer aspirin tablet, and made a paste with water and rubbed it on. It works!

Also, do you have any plantains in your yard? Best thing is to chew a leaf and apply it right to the sting site, it will also help calm down the swelling and take away some of the pain.

sock yourself in the stomach really hard so the pain focuses on that and when that goes away you should forget about the sting
