Bee STING on my toe !!!! Help me !!

Benadryl is for allergies. The swelling, itching, and pain is caused by a histamine response ... technically, an allergy. If you were totally unallergic then once the initial pain from the actual pierce of the sting subsided, it would be all over.

The Bendaryl should help some, but keep up with the Tylenol, Advil, or whatever your favorite NSAID is.

And ice and epsom salts are always good too. And have your hubby kiss it for you

Thats what happened to me ....

I got stung on my ankle. On My BIRTHDAY a couple years ago. I was walking onto the deck, a bee flew out from below it. I iced it and put baking soda paste on it and took lots of benadryl. My ankle still swelled 2-3 times normal size for a few weeks. Luckily I haven't been stung since.

*I've also been stung on my face when I was 7 maybe? I seriously looked like Quazimodo's (the Hunchback of Notradam) daughter.

and no I can't spell.

best thing to take the sting away is chewed up tobacco. take some tobacco from a cig. or chewing tobacco have some -ne chew a little bit and put on your toe try to put a bandaid on it to hold it in place. works everytime.

Meat tenderizer! I can't believe you people have never heard this one!

Dab it with ACV, takes the sting out.

vinegar or ammonia ( that is one of the ingrediants (i think ) in afterbite) its supposed to nuetralize the poison.
aspirin on a bee sting is supposed to work to.

I got a bee sting of some kind on the bottom of my foot on the arch. I could hardly walk and I thought the stinger was still in so I told my DH to lance it, to get it out. He did and it didn't work. There is a old medicine that did work and just over night. It's called PRID. It works on alot of things and not very expensive.

We used to use that on mosquito bites. Never even crossed my mind for a bee sting. Same concept I reckon
