Guest guest Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hello,Yesterday, I don't know if it was wasps for sure because they were not very large and they bit me through my clothing. I thought it was horse flies. But in any case I just kept on working in the garden thinking the pain would go away. When it didn't I went inside and used my 9 volt lantern battery with 2 sets of cords. The first I attached above and below the sting on my arm with elastic hair ties. The second bite was on my hip so I held one sponge on each side of the bite. I did this for a total of about 10 minutes and reversed the polarity at about 5 minutes. I did not notice any decrease in pain. I took 1/2 an aspirin last night and didn't have pain during the night. Today, no pain. My arm looks good, but my hip has an inflamed itchy area about 2 " X4 " with an even redder lump in the middle. So, I'd like to trest but am not sure if I should hold the sponges one palm on each and if beside the bite is better than on the bite. Would one hand pressing on both work?Any thoughts?
