Question

I just got stung by some bees on the neck..what should i put on my neck?

Answer 1

ICE!!!! and put some lemon on it too

Answer 2

Use some pennies to pull out the stingers. No seriously I read it in a email. Its true.  

Answer 3

Bee stings are acid so need to be neutralized with something alkali such as Bircarb of soda or white vinegar.its not proven to be a cure but it helps some people.

Answer 4

Benadryl spray would help.

Or you can make a paste out of water and baking soda and spread that on the stings.

My next-door neighbor used to cut an onion in half and put the freshly-cut side against the sting.

Editing to copy something from a first-aid site:

What to do if you are stung:

If you have been stung by a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, follow these instructions closely:

    * Bees leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Do not try to pull it out as this may release more venom; instead gently scrape it out with a blunt-edged object, such as a credit card or dull knife.

    * Wash the area carefully with soap and water. This should be continued several times a day until the skin is healed.

    * Apply a cold or ice pack, wrapped in cloth for a few minutes.

    * Apply a paste of baking soda and water and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.

    * Take acetaminophen for pain.

Other remedies for pain and itching may include:

    * dabbing on a tiny amount of household ammonia.

      Over-the-counter products which contain ammonia are also available for insect stings.

    * taking an over-the-counter antihistamine, if approved by your physician.

      Be sure to follow dosage instructions for children.

Answer 7

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 8

ice ,
