I am allergic to bug bites, stinging nettle, poison ivy/oak.......luckily with everything I am allergic to, I have never neet stung by a bee or anyother stinging critter. While walking through the ocean at Santa Barbara, I got the jelly fish stings all over my legs from the little jelly fish floating all over the water.....they swelled up real bad.
But my favorite treatment that works ALL THE TIME is mud.....just plain MUD....wet dirt packed on whatever it is that is stinging. I found this out when I was a child fishing along the river in Kansas with my Grandpa. I got into some stinging nettle & my arm was all swollen up. He took some of the mud from along the river & packed it on my arm....within 30 minutes, the swelling & stinging went completely away. I got into nettle another place I was at in California & used mud.....the same thing....it went all away. I packed wet salewater sand on the jellyfish stinge & that worked too. When I took my daughter out backpacking, whe got into poison oak....out in the middle of nowhere & her arm looked horrible & burned & itched with intense scratching. As soon as I saw it, I packed her arm with mud......again, the same result....within 30 minutes, you couldn't even see where she got into the it. Natural cures are what were used before we came up with all the chemical stuff to take it's place.....I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it actually work on everything I have tried..
You could just say you are doing a mud facial & you would fit right in & help the sting right undr
