Get something flat and thin and run it across the skin of the area that the stinger is attached to (a credit card, the paper part of a matchbook...something thin like that). This will remove the stinger without any danger of forcing more venom into the victim. Use cool compresses but no ice. |
No, thanks a lot for this post and the one above that you posted. We got a # from the ER vet to call about the bees but I am curious on how you think they should be removed. the hive is in the ground on the base of a tree. do i need to get the tree removed as well? will they just come back if not? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Bees scare the beejeebus outta me.
thanks everyone for the replies!!!
