There's less stress when you're prepared!

I have found that anti-perspirant relieves the swelling and pain from bee stings as well as sun burns.  I now have one of my free Wink anti-perspirants in my large family emergency kit. My 7 year old nephew got stung multiple times this summer by bees at Bear Lake.  My sister rubbed anti-perpirant on the stings and the swelling went down and the pain went away as well!

So if you don't have a bee sting kit handy(and you don't have anyone in your family that is allergic to bees that requires a hypdermic solution) try anti-persirant! (I've also heard that meat tenderizer will help with swelling and pain for a bee sting.)

Soda pop also works! My daughter held her finger in some homemade rootbeer after she was stung by a hornet and it felt better quickly!

A doctor once told me to put a crushed Benedryl tablet on my bee sting.
I was supposed to crush it and put enough water with it to make a paste.

I'm a new member so I hope it's okay to post this here.
