Vinegar

Wasp stings are alkaline

[diddyman]

Hair dryer... blow hot air on it and it should kill the poison.

[KITT]

Anthisan cream

Good idea. Inflicting greater pain elsewhere will make the first pain go away : nuts:

Take the wasp swimming and drown the Fcucker

Most simple insect stings in a nonallergic person require no more than first aid at home.

Remove any stingers remaining in the skin (most likely from bees) immediately. Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card. However, it is probably more important to get the stinger out as quickly as possible than to be overly concerned about how it is removed.

Application of ice to the sting site may provide some mild relief. Ice may be applied for 20 minutes every hour as needed. Cloth should be placed between the ice and skin to avoid freezing the skin.

Consider taking an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for itching.

Consider taking ibuprofen (Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief as needed.

Wash the sting site with soap and water. Place an antibiotic ointment on the sting site.

If it has been more than 10 years since your last tetanus booster, get a booster within the next few days.
