How To Treat A Wasp Sting
Summer in the UK usually only lasts 5 minutes, so as soon as we see that first ray of sunshine, we all head out for a day in the sun. With our pale legs out, we soak up the sun in our gardens and parks until the rain comes. However, when basking in the summer sun with our legs out on the show, we sometimes get unwanted guests with a sting in their tails.
Fortunately, for those who do not suffer from an allergic reaction to insect stings, some remedies for wasp stings help ease the pain. They will also help with the irritating itch.
If, however, you are allergic to stings, then the best course of action is to contact a hospital straight away.
Common symptoms of a wasp sting include:
Home Remedies for Wasp Sting
Vinegar
To use vinegar on wasp stings, soak a cotton ball with apple cider or white vinegar and place it on the affected skin area. Leaving the cotton ball on your skin for a few minutes will allow the vinegar to ease the pain.
Lemon
Take a whole lemon, slice the lemon in half and apply flesh side down onto the sting. This will help due to the citric acid neutralising the alkali in the venom.
Lemon Juice
Going deep into the kitchen cupboards, can you find some lemon juice left over from pancake day? Take a cotton ball or swab and soak it in the lemon juice.
