This thread is bringing back memories of past stings.
I once had a wood borer wasp crawl in my ear and sting inside my ear. Ear canal swelled almost closed, ear swelled up like a cauliflower.

I am absolutely sure that the baking soda paste idea was invented by some mom somewhere who was trying to calm down her bee-stung child. i.e., no, it didn't do anything to stop the sting/swelling/itch.
I guess I'm not allergic to bees or I'd be dead by now.
The ear canal thing sounds horrific, liz.
