Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hi ladies, I need your input if you know anything about bee stings. I have never been stung by a bee in all my 43 years of life, but last weekend when we were boating, unfortunately I stepped on a bee that was mired in the sand on a beach in one of the coves we stopped at. Of course, he stung me, right between my third and fourth toe. My husband pulled out the stinger right away and I didn't think anymore of it, (except for the throbbing pain) until these last few days when my foot has been itching like mad! The redness has extended into a large circle around the top of my foot. How long does this last? It is so embarassing and irritating to be in public and have these itching attacks--I can't stop scratching it! I have not really done anything for it, as I thought my body would just fight it off. My research on the net hasn't really told me anything I could do now, almost 7 days after the fact. Lots of info for at the time of the sting, which I really was unable to tend to out on a kayak. Any ideas? Should I be soaking this foot or applying something? thanks, Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
