Insect stings

Post by Nighthiker »

While taking down the campsite yesterday had several wasp or hornets sting me. I received three stings, left hand, left wrist and left arm. Felt like a minor electric shock and the sting sites felt quite warm (and painfull). Applied water to cool then a Benadryl cream to the wound sites which gave a lot of relief. No other side effects and the hornets/wasp were not attracted to me (unlike bees, once your stung by one the others swarm to attack) as I continued to take down the campsite. No swelling or pain at the sting sites this morning.
