Make the itching stop

The swelling on my finger has gone down today from yesterdays wasp sting but now the top of my hand itches like crazy. Google’d how to stop the itching from a wasp bite and found out a bunch of home remedies to deal with a bee sting, wasp sting, hornet sting or jellyfish sting without the sting of the credit card machines while buying the commercial cures at the pharmacy.

Baking soda
Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply to wasp or hornet bite.

Banana
Using the inside of a banana peel placed over the area where you have been bit.

Garlic
Cut up garlic very small; place it on the bite.

Mud paste
To get effective relief from a bee sting, make a mud paste (water and …

Onion
If you get stung by a yellow jacket( Wasp, hornet) etc, cut an onion.

Remove the sting
Use the card to scrape against the skin to remove the sting.

Vinegar
Dab the irritation with vinegar and this will relieve the itching.

You’ll never try anything else for stings
Immediately after the sting, place a clean penny over the sting.

I didn’t have anything to use so it just went away after a day.
