Bee Sting
« on: August 18, 2020, 09:11:03 am »
Today I went shopping and while I was in the kitchen putting the groceries away I felt a very sharp pain in my heel.  It hurt a lot every time  I took a step so I sat down and took off my shoe.  There was a (dead) yellow jacket bee in my shoe  that had stung me.  How strange.   :o

Ouch!  It is strange that the yellow jacket bee ended up in your shoe!  From what I know about yellow jackets, they have a pretty big stinger.

Oh dear, that is painful.  If you have baking soda, you might try mixing a little with water to make a paste.  Then put it on the sting area.  It helps to ease the pain and draw out the poison. 

I have used that remedy numerous times in my life when I got stung and it has helped very much.

That sounds painful! I wonder how it got there.  ???

I have tried lots of things over the years, yesterday I used a piece of brown paper bag and vinegar and after 30 minutes  It was hard to see where it stung me.

Oh no! I bet that hurt. As crazy as it is I am 31 years old and have never been stung by a bee or wasp.

Wow, I remember when my son was younger and got stung in between his eyes. He didn't even know.

Oh, wow, stings can really be painful.  That must have been a shock to find the culprit in your shoe. A couple of weeks ago, I got stung by something while spreading straw around the plants in my garden. I never saw what critter did the damage, but I was in pain for a few hours.  It was very weird, but finally went away.  Lesson learned, wear gloves while picking up straw.

When I was still working I was on my way home and kicked my shoes off in my car (wore heels then and feet were hurting) when I got home I put my shoes back on and immediately got a sharp pain in my left foot and same thing had a yellow jacket in my shoe ! Who would have thought.

Ouch, that must of really hurt! I have been stung myself but in a different way. I was walking outside barefoot and somehow stepped on a bee's stinger and it went into my heel. That was intense pain. I learned to always wear some type of shoe when outside.
