My boyfriend, Lucas Amick, (y'all might know him, hes on here a lot...) got stung by a wasp and hes really allergic to them. He was stung on his left elbow and his entire arm is swollen... we have applied ice to it and lifted up, but the swelling just seems to come back. He says he is not in any pain, its just irritating! We have tried Benadryl and other medications but it has just gotten worse since yesterday... if you have any suggestions please help!

 

If he's got a bad allergy to them, get him to the E-Room, quick!!!

 

I mean its been two days. and hes fine. Its the swelling just annoying him because it just gets worse.





trust me, ive spent two nights with him hes fine...

 

a little meat tenderiser and a little water. my neighbor rain over a bee nest and was stung over a hundred times and hes allergic to them and by the time he got to the hospital they were pretty much gone. they gave hm a shot and sent him home. theywere supprised at how well he was doing when he had gotten there compaired to the other times he had been stung and went in.

 

haha, i think the epi pen is for if a wasp stings him around the neck, because he swells so fast! but his aunt needs it for like life or death, she cannot be stung, so idk.
ill have to make him try that paste with baking soda... we also think the stinger is stuck in there. He is scratching it a lot, so even if it was in there, he has already released most of the poison stuff right?

omg. did he put the meat tenderiser on himself?!? omg! that is so scary you just gave me chill bumps! ICK! EWWWWWWWW. i can just feel those things all over me!

 

take some tobacco when the sting is fresh, wet the tobacco and hold it to the sting..it makes it feel better...I don't know what it does...but hit helps.

 

OKAY, thank you everyone! im going to try the toothpaste because Lucas is most likely to try that! thanks! much love to you all!

 

The baking soda paste works pretty good and so does the tobacco. I've also used Listerine for them.

Listerine also has helped with fire ant bites.

 

Listerine eh, must be something in there , thats the same as toothpaste,,interesting..

 

fire ant bites SUCK!........
