Scrape the area with a fingernail or use tweezers to remove it.
Don't pinch the stinger -- that can inject more venom.
2. Control Swelling
Ice the area.
If you were stung on your arm or leg, elevate it.
Remove any tight-fitting jewelry from the area of the sting. As it swells,
rings or bracelets might become hard to get off.
3. Treat Symptoms
For pain, take an over-the-counter painkiller like acetaminophen or
ibuprofen. Do not give aspirin to anyone under age 18.
For itchiness, take an antihistamine (like diphenhydramine/benadryl). You
can also apply a mixture of baking soda and water or calamine lotion.
4. Follow-Up
It might take 2-5 days for the area to heal. Keep it clean to prevent
infection. |
