Great, apparently I am allergic to bee's

[Larry Ashcraft]

I'm allergic to bee stings too, and I carry the kit everywhere.

Since we moved to our place in 1994, I've been stung by a scorpion, a yellow jacket, and several times by bumble bees who had made a home in my tractor.

Every time I used an aspirin poultice, and had no reaction. Takes the sting out immediately, too, even the scorpion.

We keep a mortar and pestle in the kitchen with some aspirin crushed up in it. Just wet that and apply to the sting. Instant relief! In a pinch, just grab an aspirin, wet it and apply.

good tip, thanks i will try it. Gotta tell ya it hurt like hell and the percocette they gave me didn't make a dent, whiskey once I got home took the edge off nicely though.

They usually prescribe some pretty weak stuff... I still haven't been to the ER for stings (even though I have it pretty bad)- I guess that avoidance works!- even when my friends and family call me a pussy when I leave any location where a stinging insect is... I'd rather be a pussy than have to jam an Epi-Pen into my thigh.
