A mudpack or a wet tea bag. The mud will dry and hopefully pull it out, or the tanin in the tea bag will help pull it out. Whatever you use cover it with a large bandaid or gauze. Sleep witth it on and check in the morning.

CBD oil takes any swelling and aching out. We got hit hard in the country with bees where everyone was swelling bad, not even allergic and CBD oil on the sting dropped the swelling and ache.

Just like others said baking soda and water. It worked on my son when he got stung 20+ times
Venom is a protein. You need to dissolve it. Meat tenderizer.

Wash it first with soap and water. Hydrocortisone cream applied to the sting and Benadryl or another allergy medication, like Claritin, to be taken orally. Please don’t put something like spit on it-that can cause infection. You can use a cold compress and/or a pain reliever, for the pain, if necessary. Pull out the stinger with some tweezers, if it’s above the surface of the sting. If it isn’t, just leave it there. (Wasps won’t leave stingers)
