Answers:
first of all, check the site for the stinger!. if it's still in there, you're going to need to get it out!.
get tweezers and pull it out!. the quicker you do it, the less it hurts!. but becareful not to break it while it's still partially in the skin!.
if you don't have twwezers you can use a credit card!. get the card and it the direction that the stinger went in, swipe it across the skin until the stinger comes out!.

ice is a good start with taking away the pain but also make a paste of baking soda and water!. apply it to the area and leave it on for 20 minutes!. it should relieve the sting!.
also some benadryll should ease any sweeling that occured!.

if there is any signs of anaphalixis (serious allergic reactions) like hives, swelling of the lips, difficulting breathing, feeling of not getting enough air, CALL 911!

hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
