How To Cure A Wasp Sting
Wasp stings are painful, but they’re also easy to treat. You’ve probably heard that you should wash the area with soap and water. This is true, but it’s not the only thing you need to do. Here’s how to cure a wasp sting:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching the affected area. If you don’t have soap handy, use alcohol wipes or hand sanitizer instead.
2. Use tweezers to remove any remaining stingers from your skin (if you can see them). Be careful not to squeeze or pull too hard, as this can make the sting worse!
3. Apply an ice pack or cold compress over the affected area for 20-30 minutes (or until swelling goes down). This will reduce inflammation and help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by swelling after a sting occurs.
4. Take an antihistamine such as Benadryl if itching or swelling lasts longer than 24 hours after the initial reaction subsides; this is especially true if symptoms seem more severe than normal reactions caused by previous stings (such as nausea/vomiting)
Wasp stings are no joke. They can be extremely painful and can even cause an allergic reaction in some people. Fortunately, there are ways to treat a wasp sting so you don’t have to suffer through the pain—and worse, the allergic reaction that could follow.

1) If you’ve been stung by a wasp, it’s important to remove the stinger as soon as possible. This can help prevent any further venom from being released into your skin. To do this, use tweezers or a credit card (not your fingers!) and scrape it out of your skin using quick movements.
2) Wash the area with soap and water to remove any remaining venom that’s left behind on your skin. Be sure to thoroughly rinse off all traces of soap before applying a cold compress or ice pack to help reduce swelling in the area around where you were stung. If you’re experiencing swelling around your eyes, lips or mouth then it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately because these areas are more susceptible to infection than other parts of your body when they swell up like this!
3) Take an antihistamine such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine H
