Keep in mind that the treatment for these stings differs depending on which type of insect stung you. Before treating it, carefully remove the stinger from your skin using your fingernail or a credit card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bee Stings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.care2.com\/greenliving\/how-to-treat-bee-wasp-and-hornet-stings.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bees and yellow jackets<\/a> have venom that\u2019s acidic, which means that you\u2019ll have to use baking soda or another alkaloid. This helps neutralize the acidic content of the venom. Add some water to baking soda to make a paste, then spread it on your sting and leave it for up to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wasp Stings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/17\/clemson-university-social-bees-and-wasps-life-cycle-and-behavior-part-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wasp<\/a> and hornet stings can be more painful than bee stings. Since their venom is alkaline, you\u2019ll need to use vinegar on it. Vinegar has acidic properties, so it neutralizes the venom. You can pour a little bit of vinegar on the sting, then dip a paper towel in vinegar and apply it as needed.<\/p>\n<p>For stings from bees or wasps, applying ice can help ease pain. If you have trouble breathing or signs of an allergic reaction, seek emergency medical care.<\/p>\n<p>If wasps or bees are causing trouble on your property, please contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> for help.
