What Is Best For Wasp Stings?

[crosspatch65]

Tried vinegar, anything else please?

[sandyRoe]

hydocortisone is good in soothing insect stings

I find knocking the nest down with a bug stick give one a nice crop.

TCP - when I used to get bites - I just put the bottle to the sting. It was good.

My answer didn't register, try again. '
'winegar for wasps' - that didn't work. Hydrocortisone should work, but doesn't. There is a product called 'Afterbite' - ammonia based - that I have found to be effective.

Baking soda is supposed to be good.

Rub a slice of onion on it.

[Messalina]

Wine. Applied internally.

Don't get stung again. The first one just sets you up, the second one can cause quite serious problems.

Alcohol is a good local anaesthetic applied cutaneously and orally.

Two years ago I had 5 stings in 2 days, due to a wasps nest at my daughters...However they got up my skinny jean legs I'll never know! After the first 2 I became a little numb to the pain

^^^brave wasps ^^^:-)

[mazie]

They certainly were melv...one even managed it to the buttock area...now that was sore

[melv16]

A sitting target, mazie? ;-)

[mazie]

Well the wasp was by the time I'd finished jumping up and down :o)

Try ANTHISAN (available over the counter), really good for all bites/stings

Rubbing with an ice cube helps too.
