I was outside on the deck yesterday and got stung by a wasp. I rushed inside to see what Earthclinic viewers recommended. Took some ACV and applied it with a cotton ball, then held it there about two minutes. Pain gone and redness gone. It works!

Worked great for a bumble bee sting right to the arch of my foot. Pain gone after about a minute. Hope the bee made it. :(

"In rare cases where bumble bees do sting, it is usually because they feel threatened by something we are doing... Only the females have stingers.

"Bumble bees can sting more than once, and may recruit other members from their nest to help if they feel the threat remains.

"The majority of individuals stung will have a minor reaction ... limited to the area around the sting... Most stings will not require any treatment, and will get better by themselves with time.. .

However ... While very rare, there has been a known fatality due to complications likely caused by *manny* likely caused by likely caused by *many* bumble bee stings.
