BEE OR WASP STING SOOTHER
When I was little and lived in the country I used to visit an older couple. Once when I was stung by a bee my "adopted grandmother" made this to take away the sting. I've also included directions for getting the stinger out.

Steps:
- Using a credit card, scrape over where the stinger is; this should get it out easier than tweezers.
- Mix just enough water to make a thick paste and apply to area where stinger was.
- Allow to sit until the pain is gone.
BEE STING CAKE
This is a cake I came up with, while trying to attempt to make the Bee Sting Cake from The Cheesecake Shop. Unfortunately it was NOTHING like that one, but it was delicious just the same! It is kind of like a shortcake (similar the traditional German version of this cake), and is also delicious with cream cheese frosting! Although this is not what I was trying to make, everyone thought it was delicious, and it has already been made twice in my house! I will try again to make the one from The Cheesecake Shop, and post my recipe attempt! :D

Tips for Treating Bee or Wasp Stings:
- Act quickly: The sooner you treat a bee or wasp sting, the less severe the reaction will be.
- Remove the stinger: If the stinger is still in the skin, remove it carefully with tweezers. Avoid squeezing the stinger, as this can inject more venom into the skin.
- Clean the area: Wash the affected area with soap and water to remove any venom or bacteria.
- Apply a cold compress: A cold compress can help to reduce pain and swelling. You can use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth.
- Elevate the affected area: Elevating the affected area can help to reduce swelling. If the sting is on your arm or leg, prop it up on a pillow.
- Take pain relievers: If you are experiencing pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
- Apply a topical anesthetic: A topical anesthetic can help to numb the pain. You can use a cream or gel that contains lidocaine or benzocaine.
- Use natural remedies: There are a number of natural remedies that can help to relieve the pain and swelling of a bee or wasp sting. Some popular remedies include honey, aloe vera gel, and baking soda.
Conclusion:
Bee and wasp stings can be painful and uncomfortable, but they are usually not serious. By following these tips, you can help to relieve the pain and swelling of a bee or wasp sting and prevent infection.
However, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms after a bee or wasp sting:
