How long will the stinging last???

Question

I got stung by a wasp on my arm today, and along with the redness and swelling, every so often i feel a sharp stinging sensation. Should it not have calmed down a bit by now??

Answer 1

I was stung by 4 wasps for my first time it'll be like that for alittle cause the poison is going through your veins and your body is battling it

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

Answer 3

Are you sure you got the stinger out? If not it will keep hurting.
