Just got stung by four bees.

Or yellowjackets. Whatever. The little #u@&er$ got me good.

So. My first bee sting. Times FOUR. Guess I stepped on 'em. Flew down my shirt, up my pants... not good.

Yes, I can breathe. But holy crud, this hurts. I've got bigger-than-golf-ball size red splotches, and they're pretty swollen. The splotches have these little satellite sort of splotches coming off them. Very nice.

I've tried the old baking soda trick, the lemon juice trick, the Benadryl trick. So far the only thing that's happened is that the Benadryl is making me verrrrrrry sleepy. Next is the calamine lotion trick. I think.

Just talked to the GHC consulting nurse. He said they've been getting a LOT of these calls lately. So watch where you step.

Tell me your home remedies, and I'll try 'em.
