Damn, man....GO!!!

[Jon L. Obscene]

thats not good.

Go get sorted man.

Meanwhile hot water (well anything hot) will help neutralize the poison, hotter the better but obviously don't burn yourself.

FFS, hope you're OK mate.

Benadryl or some other allergy medication while you're on your way there to slow the reaction.

WHY don't you have a kit?????

Remember to piss on it 1st if you dont have a kit...

Probably to late but

If one is stung, the wound can be treated in the following ways:

* Remove the stinger with all haste, in whatever manner is most convenient. If you see a little black dot in the wound, part of the stinger is still present. I like scraping across the skin with a credit card to try to remove the stinger.

* Apply a solution of one part meat tenderizer to 4 parts water. Papain, the enzyme in meat tenderizer, breaks down the protein in bee venom responsible for the pain and itching. Don't leave this on for more than 30 minutes, or it can irritate the skin. If this isn't available, you might try an antiperspirant. Aluminum chlorohydrate reduces the effect of bee venom, but to a lesser extent.

* Apply cold. Use ice or cool water for 10 to 30 minutes after the sting. This blunts the body's allergic response.

* An antihistamine such as Benadryl, taken by mouth, can give some added relief, and help prevent the reaction from spreading.

* A shake lotion such as calamine can be helpful. A paste made of baking soda and water can have a similar effect.

* Topical hydrocortisone can also provide some symptomatic relief.

* Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for systemic pain relief.

And if you're reading this ....GET YOUR FUCKInG ARSE TO HOSPITAL

I'm back. The hospital is across the street from my house. So, no need to panic.

I experienced a coma for three weeks, when I stepped on a ground
nest of wasp while in the army. I don't remember anything after the
helicoptor ride to the infirmary. After, awakening I felt like only a
a few minutes had passed since the incident.

I now have a prescription for a bee sting kit. I'll tell you what, me Monster
drinks have nothing on pure Adrenaline (epinephrine) the combination
of the two....indescribable!

Thanks for your concerns.
