How To Neutralise A Wasp Sting

Introduction

The last thing you want when you’re enjoying the summer sun is to be the victim of an unexpected wasp sting. If it so happens that you are unlucky enough to be stung by a wasp or bee, don’t worry – there are plenty of ways to treat the problem.

Identify the wasp.

It is important that you identify the wasp before you attempt to neutralise a sting. Wasps are usually black with yellow stripes, and their bodies are usually larger than bees. They also have a stinger, while bees do not. Finally, wasps have a narrow waist (wasp waist) and bees have wider waists with stingers.

Remove the sting.

Remove the stinger.

To remove the stinger, use a credit card or a stiff piece of paper to scrape it out. Apply a cold compress to the area after removing the sting. Do not squeeze or scrape at an embedded stinger because this may release additional venom into your skin that could result in further swelling and itching. If you do not have access to medical help, apply vinegar to neutralize any remaining venom on your skin before scraping off any remaining parts of the stinger with something like a credit card or stiff piece of paper (you can also try using duct tape).

Apply some ice.

You should apply an ice pack, or a cold compress and then an ice pack. To do this, use either:

• An ice cube wrapped in a towel.
• A bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel.
• Cold compresses made from crushed ice or bags of frozen vegetables (be careful not to get them too hot).

As quickly as possible and once you have been stung, seek medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

DO NOT apply ice. This causes more pain and swelling.

DO NOT use vinegar. Vinegar irritates the skin, causing more pain to your body and increasing the chance of an allergic reaction in some people.

DO NOT use alcohol (rubbing alcohol). It can cause a chemical burn to sensitive skin areas such as eyelids, lips or nostrils if it gets into these areas accidentally during treatment of an insect sting or bite wound
