Hornet Sting!!! On My Eye!!!?

Question

Yesterday I got stung by a hornet right above my eye. And today in a few hours I have to go to my church and do a bunch of dancing. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make the swelling go down kind of fast.

Thanks.:)

Ice

Answer 2

I have been keeping honey bees for several years now and i feel pretty confident about answering this one. Some form of benidryl or antihistamine will help with the itching and possibly the swelling if taken soon after the sting. You will receive lots of input about thinngs like meat tendorizer, tobacco,baking soda an other topical treatments. they are all just wives tales. I have tried and none seam to work. the venom of a wasp is different than that of a honey bee. a honey bees venom is an irritant used to defend the hive while a wasps venom is used to kill its prey. My best advice is to not rub or scratch and let it run its course. it is normal for it to be sore for a coupel of days

I have had stings itch and be sore for as little as a few minuts or as long as a weak

It won't go down fast. You'll just have to wait it out. Don't worry about it, it will make a great conversation starter.
