Thank you.

Here's some common treatments for other wasp stings. Maybe one might work for you.

* Ice applications
* Make a paste of Baking Soda and water and spread over sting
* Meat Tenderizer....Make a paste with a few drops of water to a teaspoon of meat tenderizer and quickly apply to the sting (this can reduce the pain and inflammation)
* Ammonia Solution--Apply a 1-2% percent solution, three or four times daily.
* Oral Antihistamines
* Topical Steroids (Cortaid, Dermolate, Lanacort, etc.)

If you have a severe reaction then medical intervention will probably be necessary.
