I have been stung by a wasp!! help please?

Question

Ok I've been stung by a wasp for sure not sure what kind cause I was working at Burger King and I was getting something and it was on a bag and it stung me quickly then it sort of had trouble flying away and it barely could stay above the ground so I killed it while it was struggling so an eye for an eye. It stung pretty bad for like 2 minutes then it only stings when I put ice to it. I don't have any swelling and the only pain is when I put ice to it. Their is no stinger I can see of in my thumb which is where I got stung. It happened like 9 hours ago and my thumb is a little swollen I think I'm not sure though. So I was wondering do I have to do anything or will the venom subside and I just forget about it like a mosquito bite? I am positive it is a wasp as I looked at its dead body after and I think it stung me once.

Answer 1

Old Folk remedy take some tobacco, wet it and put it on swollen thumb, where you were  stung. Sounds weird but it works.

Answer 2

wash the area with a mild soap and apply ice on and of for 10 minutes at a time if you vomit or it swells too bad go to the hospital asap i knew this cause my friend got stung the other day and i called poison controll and this is what they told me to do it will go away on its own accord

Answer 3

You should be alright after a while, it might help to put vinegar on the wound because wasps venom is a very strong alkaline.

Answer 4

if ur not allergic ur fine. take some benadryl or other allergy medication. it will help

Answer 5

dont worry, you'll live! it'll be red and sore for a couple of days (a lot like a mosquito bite but not itchy) and then it'll go. if it doesn't, see a doctor.you could apply some sort of antiseptic cream to help it heal, but other than that, you don't need to do anything.
