I was stung the day before yesterday by a
small..Bee..I think it was a honey bee
since the stinger pulled out of it's
abdomen and was left in my toe for a
couple of seconds. It is now july
7th..(a little more than a day later) and
my toe is still swollen. The bee(s)
have been coming in the house through one
of the doors. I've killed about 15 of
them since I got stung. I can't figure
out why they're just now trying to get
inside. I guess more of them are coming
in is because when a bees stinger is
released and the bee dies....The bee
releases a pheremone or something like
that into the air that signals to the
other bees to sting...So I guess that's
why more of them started coming inside...I
need to know what to do about the sting
and what I can use (a pesticide or
something) to get rid of these things...Or
to just get an exterminator, especially to
see if there is a hive around...Plus...My
father is severely allergic to stings..And
i'd rather get stung by one than one sting
him. I've used a hydrocortisone product
to reduce the itching and benadryl for the
swellingness, but it's still itching like
crazy (althought i'm not scratching it)
and swollen like it was just like the day
I was stung... :?
