cant help now but if you get stung again----dob the sting sites with bleach- like put bleach on cotton and dob it but dont keep hold the cotton on for more than bout 15 seconds-it wont do damage if you do but might turn skin brown for a short time--dont move around or walk for bout 30 minutes or it might start again---done it for years and works everytime---las time got 3 wasp stings on kneeWww@Answer-Health@Com
