Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
if anyone you know smokes or uses tobacco products, try this:
mix tobacco with enough cool water to make it fairly wet so it all sticks together
make enough to cover the site of the sting
leave it on until it dries, you can hold it down with a bandage if you need to
by the time it dries, all of the sting and most of the swelling should be gone
if no home remedies work in a reasonable amount of time, call your dr and askfor a cortisone shot!

Try putting vinegar on the sting...just remembered something we learnt in science lesson, when you get stinged by wasp use vinegar to neutralise the sting, because wasps sting is alkaline and vinegar is acid..........but if it's the other way around say if you got stinged by a bee then you should use bicarbonate soda because the bee sting would be acid and you need alkaline to neutralise it.
...but if this doesn't work then use anti-septic cream such as, savlon, or any natural tea tree cream.
hope it works takecare.
