Recently I had got stung by a wasp or bee
(not sure what it was)
and it swelled up to about 6 inches in
diameter and about half an inch
high.I heard that these stings just get
worse each time.Wondering if next time I
might need a pensil

Hi dilllake,
yeah sounds like you are allergic to bee
stings. If you get stung again get
yourself off to the hospital for sure, but
on the way make sure to flick it out with
your fingernail, don't sqeeze or push it,
you will squirt more of the poison in.
The sting is throbbing and pumping as much
poison as it can into you, so try to kind
of scratch it away so you get rid of the
stinger and the poison bag to.

Suzy is right. You might be allergic.
But my sister angela was going to be a
nurse and she studied like everything and
I have gotten stunhg like a million
times!!! (i cried each time) and she
would put ice, and if we didnt have
ice...Then mud. Sounds gross but it
helped. I still cried but it went down.
