How to Treat Bee and Wasp Stings

[@michaelnasser8697]

Never knew about adding the other medication to the Benadryl, thank you. Many years ago, my grandmother told me 2 home remedies that worked. The first was making a past out of baking soda, I believe, and putting it on a sting. I know she used it several times on my brother and I and it worked. The 2nd was putting moist snuff or chewing tobacco on the sting. I’ve used that several times over the years, not only on bee stings, but caterpillar bites/stings and it does work with the pain and swelling. I have no idea why they work, but they do, lol.

Nice tobacco works as a vasoconstrictor. Not sure on Baking soda.

@@SurviveOutdoors interesting, thank you Dan. Also, it looks like you have antlers in the video, lol. Nice rack though!

He does not tell you what to do for a sting until about the 4:40 mark. So if you are in a hurry skip to that section.

You are on target. I created a quick video with the basics and not so belabor. Here is the link. Ty for pointing this out. Here is the link for the quick video.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmbGfIqAfNxgh5I

I almost died waiting for what to do 😂😂😂. Jump to the minute. 4:39

[@SurviveOutdoors]

Glad you are still kicking.

[@nefarious_n5544]

I've been afraid of bees since I was stung as a kid. Thanks for the advice

[@SurviveOutdoors]

No problem. Glad it was helpful.

Very informative video. I spend a lot of time outdoors and about 15 years ago developed an anaphylaxis reaction to bull ants which live in this area. Bit of a bummer, but luckily they are only aggressive when their nest is disturbed. I've gotten really good at spotting their nests, and the EpiPen is usually not too far away.

[@SurviveOutdoors]

Ty much appreciated. Yes fire ants are a pain. Glad you made it through the anaphylaxsis.

I moved to oregon and Iv been bit 2 times both times swollen hot and so itchy

[@joannb6330]

🐝Muscle Rub (bengay) around the swell area helps calm it down some. Aand if you not highly allergic then take a ibuprofen or Tylenol

[@Carmen_Mar]

Thank you for this informative vid! Did you end up making a video on fire ants?

[@SurviveOutdoors]

I have not. Ty for the reminder. I must do that. Have a list but forgot that one. Hopefully in a few weeks.

[@Carmen_Mar]

@@SurviveOutdoors excellent!

[@ggabbay0]

Such better practical advice than the other stupid animations on KZbin. Thanks.

[@SurviveOutdoors]

You are welcome.

I was stung on the ankle last week while doing yard work. I only noticed the very painful sting to the Achilles. I iced it as well as taking antihistamine and ibuprofen. I’m only finding out now, via severe redness and itching, the multiple other shallow stings to the side of my ankle. I see a tiny dark spots at the center of the puffy welts.

Thank u 4 info. Appreciate.

[@SurviveOutdoors]

@@deborahharder288 you bet. Glad it helped.

[@Baldrick_dogsbody]

just got stung by a bee whilst I was sleeping in bed at night. I don't know where the bee came from since no windows were open. It stung me in the back. I had to quickly shower and dry my back for 2 mins .I hope I will be ok now going back to bed . Could feel the stung though. And I can't take the stung out, because it's in my back and can't see or reach it .

[@noahriding5780]

Do you not go into to work beehives while you already have swelling that's still there?

[@SurviveOutdoors]

. Not understanding your question. Working bee hives with swelling where?

[@noahriding5780]

@@SurviveOutdoors If you are working beehives as a beekeper, do they try to not go into other hives while all swollen up? A lot of people looking at this video may be beekeepers.

[@SurviveOutdoors]

@@noahriding5780 Excellent question. I should of addressed that in more detail. Delayed response after getting stung a few months down the road can be worse. However, people who have been stung numerous times over a time period months or years can build a slow immunity. My father kept bees. Stung numerous times. Initially it was ugly. Over time his response was minimal to non existent. So yes and no. Clearly depends on the response over time. Hope that explains.
