What should you do if you are stung?
Wasps and hornets do not leave their sting in you, and so they can sting repeatedly.
Honey bees can sting only once and will leave the sting stuck in the skin at the sting site.
Try removing the sting by scraping sideways with your fingernail, a credit card or other stiff card. Try not to squeeze the bee venom sac as that action will release more venom. However, you might have to use tweezers if the venom sac breaks off leaving the sting in the skin.
An application of ice (wrapped in a towel to prevent freezing the skin), anti-itch cream and an antihistamine pill can help reduce the effects of the sting.
