Tips on how to treat a bee Sting

Spending time in your garden or a park is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Of course, you may be subject to a bee sting – a common but painful experience!

Treating a bee sting quickly can help alleviate the discomfort.

Remove the stinger right away, watch out for signs of an allergic reaction, and then try home remedies or over-the-counter medication to improve the pain and swelling.

Tips

 * Treat stings very early on with antihistamine and check the pulse rate regularly. Keep a close eye on the sting and person for at least 4 hours after the sting.
 * Your sting may be itchy, but DON’T scratch it. This will make the itching and swelling worse and will increase the chance you’ll get an infection.
 * Put antibiotic ointment on the sting after you clean off your home remedy or medicated lotion. This will help to prevent infection.
 * Sometimes, the bee may be able to twist itself out- so unless it's dead, don't pull it out.
