What do you do if stung by a wasp or bee?

If the sting has been left in your skin, you should remove it asap.

Scrape it sideways with something with a hard edge such as a bank card.

It’s important not to pinch the skin with your fingers or tweezers because you may spread the venom.

If you’re still concerned, or symptoms worsen, more swelling, redness or flu like symptoms or you’ve been stung or bitten in the mouth or throat or near your eyes. It’s important to seek advise from the GP or NHS 111.

It’s important to look for the signs and symptoms of Anaphylaxis especially with first time stings, then call 999/112 if you suspect Anaphylaxis. Any swelling can be treated with a cold compress for 10 minutes to ease pain and reduce swelling.
