My mom just got bit by a wasp?!


Question: My mom just got bit by a wasp!?
My mom just got bit by a wasp

She was trying to pick it up

And it turned around and stung her index finger

But the stinger isn't in her finger, it was still attached to the wasp's body

We caught the wasp

And her finger is swelling and it's bigger than her other finger

We've used toothpaste, and antibiotics

What do we do now!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Not much except maybe some ice to keep the swelling down!. Unlike bees, wasps keep their stingers!. Some people say tea bags are soothing for stings!. Unless she has a severe allergy, the swelling will go down in several days and the finger will be as good as new!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

listen, i have been stung by 12 wasp at one time( walked over there nest) If your mom is allergic you might want to see a doctor, if not just put ice on it!. Mine was very swollen but i had a piano lesson that day and my finger was fine in like an hour or two!.
