Summer is here and so are the bees. I have a phobia of bugs, so anytime one comes near me I am running in the other direction. I have always been told that when bees come around it is best to stay still which is nearly impossible for me. I was doing my daily reading and found this great article on remedies for bee stings oh Shine. Below are the tips that I found most useful:
- Apple Cider Vinegar - Put some vinegar on a cotton ball and rub it on where the sting is located. This will keep the area from turning red and swelling.
- Aspirin - Create a paste using water and crushed up aspirin and then apply it to the sting to keep it from itching.
- Sugar - Wet your finger and then dip it in sugar and rub it on the sting.
- Onion - Cut a piece and rub it on the sting. This is supposed to help with the swelling.
What other remedies do you have to help with bee stings?
