Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Help!! I was just stung by a yellow jacket. I had seen him early this morning in my garden, climbing on weeds. I thought, at the time, it was too cool for him to fly, so I just worked around him. Well, this afternoon, I was working in there, I felt a burning sensation, looked down, and he was clinging to me, letting his venom into my wrist! I swatted him away. Now, no stinger is present,and swelling is surrounding the point of entry! What can I make a poultice of or better yet how do I stop the burning sensation???? TIA Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 This sounds funny, but mix up a tablespoon or so of mud and put it on it. The mud will draw out the venom and will also mask the scent of the sting so if there are any others in the area they won't come after you too.

Because of their outstanding antiseptic and oil-soluble properties, essential oils are ideal for treating most kinds of insect bites. Essential oils like lavender and peppermint also help reduce insect- bite-induced itching.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hi, I know this may be a little late to help, but..... My son has allergic reactions to bee stings. After he has been stung, we give him benedryl and watch swelling and breathing. Once we know he doesn't need a trip to the hospital, I spray peppermint hydrosol mixed with a little lavender eo on the affected area. He says that relieves the pain and itching. Whatever limb is stung, usually swells up to twice the size. This spray really seems to help. I keep it in the fridge all summer. I have also used this on poison ivy and minor sunburn--instant relief!!
