[QUOTE="Star*, post: 526418, member: 4964"] Dude got staph from wasp stings last year. He went in to the ER with allergic reactions.....got a shot, and left. The hospital was SO full of staph - that he got REINFECTED and they ended up lancing his eyelid, his arm and armpit - and packing it full of guaze. The whole thing took all summer to get over but left him with some really nasty scars. If you don't have someone available to spit on your boobs? AFTER you get the stinger out - and you can do THAT with a DEBIT CARD....... YOu can crush up a cigarette - WET it (with water) and make a poultice from that - or MUD - plain old dirt. Grab a handfull of dirt, mix with water and smear the mud on the bite - OR Lawrys season salt and a little water........(this works excellent for Fire Ants too) ........OR Baking Soda (someone said that already) and water...........OR The main thing I was told is to stay CALM - and get ANTIHISTAMINE like Benadryl or Dimetap into yourself IMMEDIATELY - the sooner the histamine is blocked the less pain you feel. Then Ice.....and remain calm. If you get excited - your blood pumps faster and courses the poison through your body faster. If you are tough as nails - like DF - once you get bitten(stung) he sprays amonia on it. Straight pure amonia. Swears it takes the bite out. I don't know I'm not going to get stung just to see if amonia works - but I do know this - and I learned it here from SUsie* - Those little afterbite mosquito pens they sell? Are nothing BUT amonia. Now when we get bitten by mosquitos? We dab the bite with amonia and it takes the bite itch right out. Another buggy time tip???? HATE MOSQUITOS???? Don't have bug spray with you? PUT dryer sheets in your socks, your pockets and your sleeves. I used to put them in my construction hat too - and let them hang out to keep gnats from buzzing around my eyes - they go for the sweat. the smell makes them crazy. The dryer sheet must smell really bad to them - they keep away. I use this when I'm mowing my lawn and it works like a charm. [/QUOTE]
