Nasty bee sting on my arm....

[rar1015]

I got stung by a wasp a couple of days ago and it hurt like hell. Now my arm is all swollen and it itches like hell. I keep putting this cream on it to stop the itching but i cant get the swelling to go down. I could take some benadryl but im not going to because i get to drowsy with that stuff. Anyone know of anything i can take to help the swelling go down?
Thanks.

Maybe the gear will make it heal faster, after all gear does make our muscles heal faster. Hope you feel better!

I dont know to be honest because i was on a big ass roller coaster going like 75mph and it landed on my arm. I smacked it off and the stinger stuck in my arm. I got the stinger out but i would assume with how hard i hit the wasp that its dead.

benadryl no doubt. old wives tale...meat tenderiser. dont know why but ive always rubbed that stuff on and it seemed to do the trick.

I usually would take benadryl for something like this but i dont take it anymore because i cant stay awake when i do.

Its ok anyway......i woke up this morning and its starting to get better (finally).

Swolen always use ice and elevate. Benedryl. First thing I do is put bleach
on bug or spider, ect. Wasps are the worst.
