I got stung on my eyelid about a month ago. It didn't swell up to bad after I got hit, but when I woke up the next mourning the whole area above my eye down to my cheek and to my ear was swollen. Had to go to the doc to get a shot. it was swollen for 3 days. Now I have a dent where I got hit. I thought my eyeball was going to explode when it hit me.

Make sure you find the hive a toss a cup of gasoline on them for revenge. They die instantly with gas. Mix up some liquid dishwashing detergent with water and toss on them. Kills them just as fast as gas and it's a whole lot safer

I dont swell like that, and neither does my girlfriend. We are litterally infested with them at my house. I walk around the house every day and kill 9 or 10 of them. They live in our attic.
It is a never ending war.

Kills them just as fast as gas and it's a whole lot safer would this work in one of those 2 gallon sprayers? And, what kind of dishwashing soap?

You need to be careful - from experience - the next bite will be worse for you and I would suggest you go to a doc and get an epi-pen Your next hit might bring on a severe reaction causing hives and airway blockage - I have been there and not being able to breathe AIN'T NO FUN

My Grandpa used to go after them with White Rain hairspray & a paint stir stick. He told me the hair spray gummed-up their wings & blurred their vision. He'd just stand there and knock them out of the air one by one. Didn't matter to me, they could still sting.

I have been stung before with no problems but got hit on the ear and it hurt and swelled up for 3 days. I guess cause there's not a lot of fat to disipate the poison in the ear but it hurt the worse by far than any other..

I got stung on my ring finger by one of those bastages just walking by a BBQ pit that there was a nest in. I was wearing my Aggie ring and my finger swelled so I couldnt get he ring off, thought my finger was going to pop.

I haven't been stung by a wasp in a long time. For me it would swell up and I would have to take benadryl.

If you dip snuff or any kind of tobacco, take it out of your mouth next time and hold it on the bite and it takes out all the poison and doesn't swell as bad. I have been stung by a wasp and poked by a hard head down at the coast and both times i have put dip on the stung area and it helped so much.

You need to be careful - from experience - the next bite will be worse for you and I would suggest you go to a doc and get an epi-pen Your next hit might bring on a severe reaction causing hives and airway blockage - I have been there and not being able to breathe AIN'T NO FUN Just to clear things up, ants, wasp, and bees STING, dogs bite. The condition your are describing is called anaphylactic shock. It is caused be a protein being introduced into your body that causes you to have a severe allergic reaction to. I witnessed this first hand when my uncle was stung be a wasp late one summer. He walked into my Aunts house and said that he got stung and that he was going to go sit in the shade. I walked outside with him and in about 5 minutes he was nearly unconscious. He really didn't want to use his epipen but he did and it saved his life. He stabbed himself in the leg and about a minute latter he fell out of his chair. We were in a very rual part of Shelby county so waiting for the ambulance was not an option. We put him in his son's truck and I drove his wife in his to the hospital in Center, TX. (FYI a one ton 4x4 Power Stroke will run well over 100 when motivated). When we pulled into the emergency room entrance I helped take him out of the truck. No joke, I've seen dead people look better than my Uncle. The medical staff rushed him inside and some how managed to stabalize him. By The Lord's grace, he recovered fully. I will never forget that.

Always used baking soda & water to form a paste and apply over the sting area. Some folk swear by meat tenderizer.

Take a vagisil and a bennedryl it will be ok. B972 says thats the best remedy around
