Your stung on the face story reminds me of a sting I got years ago. #^:_**$ wasp flew behind my glasses and nailed me on the upper eyelid. My entire face swelled up. My eyes were slits. All you could see of my nose was this little bump in the middle of my face. It was miserable.

Oh your poor face. Wasps come out of nowhere. Have had them inside my house & saw it just before grabbing it on my kitchen sink faucet.
I have been lucky with the OTC Allegra. It still takes the swelling a few days to go down but keeps the itching at a minimum....works for chigger bites too. Those things just make you want to scratch yourself to death & it helps the itch so I can do other things besides scratch. I have a spray can of anti-itch & for burns too I use but not on some places.
Go figure I got a tick bite on my eyebrow a few weeks ago. Thought I had been stabbed by a branch but it was a small seed tick. They itch....got bit by one on my ear & it itched for over a year
