Insect Sting Relief
A baking soda paste draws out the sting and eases itching from a mild bee or wasp sting.
What you'll need
- 2 tbsp baking soda
- A few drops of water
Steps
- Remove the stinger if visible, scraping rather than pinching.
- Mix baking soda with a few drops of water into a thick paste.
- Apply to the sting and leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse.
Important: Difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or widespread hives after a sting is a medical emergency — call for help immediately.
