I've just been stung!
« on: July 22, 2019, 12:52 »
Yesterday as I was going to my greenhouse some fly or other landed on my arm so I just brushed it off. Bad move as it stung me. I didn't see it but most of my lower arm beneath is swollen and extremely itchy. I'm guessing it was a bee but don't know. Anyone got any remedies?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Today it's still very sore and itchy but at least some of the swelling has gone down.

Do not scratch with fingers but rub with palm of hand.
