Gat a wasp sting yesterday in the web of my hand betweeen thumb and
forefinger. Minor pain, nothing else. This am woke up with swelling
on back of hand to where the veins and arteies are not visible,.
redness, and somewhat reduced ability to curl fingers due to the
swelling. Too early for dr office to be open. Any home remedys?

! prednisone tablet and 2 x (2 benadryls) and the swelling is gone
doqn, my sedding ring can slide along the finger, and the redness is
gone, so I guess I will live.

Thanx to all who gave good answers, boo hoo to those who politicized
it, on both sides. We have 90 or so more days to the elections, there
will be enuf hot air and rhetoric spouted on both sides to satisfy any
political junkie, lets keep this site for real home repair related
things.

Meat tenderizer is good for stings. Remember that. Adolf's .
