Bee Sting

Has anyone got any fast remedies to help with a bee sting? I�ve taken antihistamines and put sting cream on it but it still hurts. It�s right on my spine so every time I sit in a chair or lay down it�s sore. DH thinks I�m a complete wimp

My son stepped on a bee last weekend and was stung. We applied sting cream and two days later he was fine. I think you just have to wait it out. As long as you're not allergic to the sting. Xxx

Ouch, that sound really painful. Seems like I just have to put my big girl pants on and get on with it 😬

I think so 😊 unless you have an allergy, which clearly will be more serious and need treating. If you are in discomfort tomorrow though, do you have a minor injuries clinic near you as it might be worth dropping in to get it checked out? ❤️

Bicarbonate for bees and vinegar for vasps. Neutralises the acid apparently with bees and alkali with wasps

You could reach out to Amber Heard as her dog stepped on a bee.
