I just got home from a quick trip to walmart. I was coming home and had my window down as I was smoking a cigarette (I know I know) anyway I felt a sting and thought I got some of my ash on me but nope it was a yellow jacket. It flew in and stung me right below my eye and I brushed it away and it got me on the finger too. So beware when driving with the windows down ya never know what might happen.

Yeah there are alot of dangers in regards to smoking while driving. I used to smoke and one of my most frequent places of smoking was my car--- while driving. One day I flicked my cigarette out the window and a couple minutes later, smelled burning. I had no idea where it was coming from. I looked around and then finally saw smoke coming from my purse!! I pulled off to the side of the road and found the cigarette at the bottom of my bag. I guess when I flicked it out the window, the wind caused it come back in.
Be careful! ETA... just how stupid I am. I read the post completely wrong and didn't realize that it was a bee that stung you... well either way-- be careful! |

Owie! I have a rag top, so it's always good to think about what I'm driving through... but bees are not on the list (poor thing
 ) But really, with the air current around the car, and up over, I don't get hit with much, not even a light rain!

It didn't swell that bad as I iced it right away when I got home but boy does it still sting. Any solutions for the stinging? I can't take aspirin, ibuprofen etc until tomorrow night as I'm having a small procedure in the morning.

honey
or Paste of vinegar/baking soda/meat tenderizer or calamine lotion or toothpaste I also have put clear nailpolish to seal out air, but if it's an open dugout area, don't. Sealing out the air stops the stinging for me (great for fireant bites and noseeums)

Sorry to hear about your stings, jbug. Hope it clears up soon.
I was bit in four places today by a horsefly! I was attacked by them last year too. I don't do well with bug bites. I swell up (two are huge already, one is the size of the bottom of a glass) and they take forever to heal.  I usually have compassion for bugs, opting to turn them over when they are belly up, or catching them and bringing them outside. But I have declared war on these meanies.

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
