I just got bite by a wasp, what can i do to relieve burn?


Question:
I was bite by a wasp my thigh is swollen and there is alot of burning on the inside. My leg is also warm

Answers:
If you just got stung and your whole thigh is swelling you should be on your way to the emergency room instead of here. For future reference go to wal-mart and get a small jar of "Tiger Balm". If you have a bug bite or sting and can get this on it immediately it will neutralize the poison and within a couple hours there will be no trace of the bite. It isn't effective unless you get it on there as soon as it happens.

Other Answers:
ice and they have lotion at the drug store for bites
Make a thick paste out of baking soda and water, and apply it to the sting and burning area. Will do wonders!
Put tooth paste on it.
mix some baking soda with a little water to make a paste, put that on the sting.
aloe vera leaf
Water mixed with baking soda!! Put that on, cheap, and not as meny chemicals as creams
ice the area and check to make sure the stinger is out and put alochol on the area and keep it up if it is still swollen get to the hosptial
Never tried this, but years ago people would apply chewing tobacco to the sting. It supposedly draws out the swelling and soreness. *shrugz*
Put a small dab of ammonia on a cotton ball and rub the sting with it, ammonia help to neutralise the wasp venom.
go to the ER if your allargic and wasp dont bite they sting.
Put a big wad of wet chewin tobackey on it.
Make a paste out of baking soda and a little water, apply to the bite. This will draw out the venom that was injected. Then apply a cold washcloth or ice pack for 20 minutes. If there is swelling in your throat or tongue ... seek medical attention immediately!
Look for a dark spot in the center of the sting. If it's there get it out. It's a stinger and keeps putting more poison in. Make a paste out of baking soda and water, put it on the sting. Cover it with a wet Cool towel. It should draw the sting out within an hour. If the swelling gets much worse you may be allergic. Go to the emergency room and they can give you a shot. If you are allergic you will need to get a kit and keep it with you.
Take a potato and grate it up place it directly over the sting and wrap a cloth around it. The potato will draw out the poison and cool the sight of the sting.
Chewin tobacco and bakin soda work good...just not together..
Make a baking soda paste with water and let it set on it or get a tea bag get it wet and drain water out of it and put it on it with pressure Then put anti itch cream on it or ice
put some wet mud on it it seems to work.........
I didn't know that wasps 'bit', but if you meant stung, then you should just try a cold pack.
Baking soda polduse is best but you can also try Meat Tenderizer. Don't know how it works but grandma used it. Pulling out the stinger is also a precursor to success.
