Bee Stings

haha. you said "bloated, pussy"

Just know that a rotting bee stinger gives off an odor that is irresistable to the male sex..

Unless the bee was radioactive, in which case you'll probably just get super powers.

Heh. We're no help. Especially me. *cough* (puts bowl down).

most likely it'll be ok, kinda like a splinter. but you run a higher risk of infection, thats all.

Think about it.. soon you'll be able to develop incredible bee-like powers, get a beautiful redheaded girlfriend, and develop the best honey recipes the world has ever seen!

ps. for the record I'm "Jerktastic"

The one time I got a bee sting I kept trying to pull the stinger out, but I could never get a good grip on it, even with tweezers. So far as I know it's still in there, though it's done nothing to make me irresistable to the opposite sex, sad to say... oh wait, he said "male sex."

Actually, that explains a few things...

Why don't you just ask her....Bee

if you get a bee sting, find a piece of real leather.. perhaps a belt, or a purse strap, or a fetish whip...

take the fibrous side (the side that doesn't look all smooth and pretty, we're all intelligent people here) and gently rub it across the place where the stinger is. the fibers will catch the tiny barbs on the stinger and remove it with no problem.

don't use tweezers, you just end up irritating the area and making more trouble for yourself, the more things touching it the more likely you are to become infected.

i know, you're probably past the point of removing it by now, but just telling you.

here's a tip for splinters. if you get a splinter in your finger (working as a carpenter's assistant, I had a lot of those) and you can't get it out, lick it. that's right, lick. starting from the place it ends inside your finger and going up towards the part that you'd be pulling at, lick. just that direction. eventually, your skin will absorb so much of your saliva that the splinter will be loose enough to come out easily. on more than one occassion i've had the splinter end up on my tongue

wow... i kinda rambled didn't i... oh well.

Bee Stings
The danger of bee stings:
The two greatest risks from most insect stings are allergic reaction (which occasionally, in some individuals could be fatal) and infection (more common and less serious).

What to do if you are stung:
If you have been stung by a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, follow these instructions closely:

Bees leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Do not try to pull it out as this may release more venom; instead gently scrape it out with a blunt-edged object, such as a credit card or dull knife.
Wash the area carefully with soap and water. This should be continued several times a day until the skin is healed.
Apply a cold or ice pack, wrapped in cloth for a few minutes.
Apply a paste of baking soda and water and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
Take acetaminophen for pain.
Other remedies for pain and itching may include:

dabbing on a tiny amount of household ammonia.
Over-the-counter products which contain ammonia are also available for insect stings.
taking an over-the-counter antihistamine, if approved by your physician.
Be sure to follow dosage instructions for children.
When to seek medical attention:
Seek immediate medical attention if you are stung in the mouth or nose as swelling may block airways. Also seek emergency care if any of the following symptoms are present, as these could indicate an allergic reaction:

large areas of swelling
abnormal breathing
tightness in throat or chest
dizziness
hives
fainting
nausea or vomiting
persistent pain or swelling

To my knowledge, the only bees that leave their stinger are honey bees. If you were stung by a wasp or hornet, it's out there laughing because 1) you are wasting your time looking for the stinger, and 2) it can't wait to sting you again the next time it sees you.

my mom used to mix corn starch and ice-cold water, then put it on my stings. Eased the burning plus, corn starch and water is wicked fun.

Try that, maybe. I never got an infection when that remedy was applied.

Be a MAN about it!


rub some dirt on it and get back in the game!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!


GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




oh god so sorry, I really need to go watch some football I think.


good lord what is wrong with me.

more then likly if you cant find the stinger in the "bite" area it more then likly fell out but in case it may have slipped under teh skin and out of sight soak the wound for a few hours and see if anything starts to protrude, also the baking soda paste thing as it removes the venom and cuases the skin to contract a lil

iapologize for my spelling and grammer as i am on day 3 of my drinkig binge

first of whathisname is right, only bees leave the singer i think.

secondly the body naturally expells foreign objects like beestingers, splinters etc.
if most cases it'll just slowly be pushed out of the body without you even noticing.
people get way more tiny splinters of various materials in their skin than they ever notice, the body generally get's rid of them easily.

you'll want to find a beestinger quick though because it has a venom sack attached that keeps pulsing and pumping in venom untill it's either empty or removed so the longer you leave it the more it'll hurt.

exactly. =/

and gram used to take some nicotine out of her cigarettes, mix it with a little spit, and put it over the sting with a bandaid.
the spit helped disolved the proteins in the venom, and the nicotine helped with the pain...i don't know if it was blood circulation or just natural pain-killing properties. anyway, it worked. and hardly swelled.
i'm sorry you have an owwie Clara.

i remember being stung twice on the little webbing part in between your fingers. stupid ass bees

I heard (on BBC radio 4 if that makes any difference) that if you have the stinger and it's still attached to a pulsing lump of goo that you should scrape those out of your skin as quickly as possible, because the pulsing lump of goo is still pumping poison.

But this URL says speed matters, not method.
Removing bee stings

Hope you're arm isn't too painful.

But can you live with being chased by all the men of Virginia?
