urgent urgent bee sting cant get out sting

[jellyjelly]

just been stung, it hurts an looks like there is a splinter in there still. cant get it out is throbbing.

help!!

tweezers?

No don't use tweezers unless you really have to - you squeeze more venom in

i managed to flick off what i could but its under not half out not sure if i can leave it in or if it will sting till removed.

oooh sorry ignore me

what to do then?

i tiped out my picked onions and hav my hand in the vinegar. typing hard

ice to sshrink the swelling and mke it easier to remove?

any help?

They seem to be suggesting scraping it out.

Try this:

'Conventional wisdom says to scrape bee stingers away from the skin because pinching the venom sack could push extra venom into the victim. In fact, how fast you get the stinger out is much more important than how.

Honey bees leave a stinger behind when they sting a victim. Wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets do not leave a stinger.'

I've heard people talk about using a credit card to scrape?

use a credit card. hths

If you have broken half off tweezers might be the only way to go though. You might have broken most of the venom sac anyway (maybe)

slightlymad - yours sounds better than the one I found.

if it was a bulmble or honey bee it would leave a sac on top which would continue pumping venom, it sounds like this is gone so you can dig it out with sterile needle.

i got a white thing off which is the sac but it looks like wood splinter still there. i can see it but not feel it still throbbing

it was not bumble was smaller

off to operate. How to steralise needle?

oooh poor you. hope you get it out. not going to suggest anything more as don't know what I'm talking about (clearly) but do feel for you

Alcohol or flame it

Or boiling water for a couple of mins

pour over boiling water, then hold till cool....to sterilse not to pour on finger!

something is ther but cant get it/.

i smell like a hip shop

Hang on I think UCMs credit card is much better. I saw it on telly once when they were reconstructing the A&E scene from someone who had been stung hundreds of times. You just flick them out with it.

I have just found a device that will suck them out on google....maybe you could get your hoover out ?

can i stick magnesium sulfate on it do you think?

why?

jokes aside peeps, dont like bees so much now
