" Hi! I’m Tracey Cullers on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment, I’ll show you how to take care of a bee sting. The most important thing to do is to get rid of the stinger. If it stays in it can keep hurting. An easy way to do it is to take a credit card or a phone card and slide it across until it comes off. Then you want to watch for any allergic reactions. If she immediately will turn and gets big hives, have difficulty swallowing or breathing, you would want to call 911. If it’s going to be just a simple case of pain then there are several things that you can do to ease the pain. You can make a mixture of baking soda and water and put it on there. You could use meat tenderizer that also works. Make a paste and put it on the sting. I like to use aspirin. You just take an aspirin and crush it up. If you do not have a mortar and pestle go ahead and use metal spoons, crush it between them, and make a paste with water and aspirin. Just a little bit of water will do. Then put that on the injury. That’s going to make the bee sting feel a whole lot better."
