  1. you should take ibuprofen. then you should get a bowl of water and ice cubes and stick your hand in it for five minutes. the pain should go away long enough for the ibuprofen to take effect. if it still itches, apply some calamine lotion.

    it is normal for that to happen not only with insect stings but jellyfish as well (personal experience).  so there is nothing to worry about. however, if your face starts to swell, you have dificulty breathing, or the area starts to become infected, you should seek medical help.


  2. Well your body didn't break out and most definitely didn't go into respiratory arrest... so don't worry, it's all good.
