[QUOTE="Star*, post: 552448, member: 4964"] There are lots of home remedies that work.......... meat tenderizer if used immediately - and if you get the stinger out - (use a credit card and flick the card backwards to remover stinger) then rinse in cold water for several minutes, using a paste of meat tenderizer and ice for at least 1/2 and hour followed by a couple Benadryl or swigs of Dimetap. YOu sound like you are experiencing anaphalaxys toxic shock - i would seek medical help and quickly - swelling this long is not normal and needs treatment. It could affect your other organs adversely. You are having a an allergic reaction. ALSO - if you have NOTHING like meat tenderizer - but smoke - MIX tobacco with water and apply over the bite/sting.....and leave like a poultice or scrape some or make some mud......(not the most hygenic) but it will absorb some of the toxins. Get to a doctor. As far as the nest? DO NOT ATTEMPT to rid without professional help - The nest can be HUGE......and thousands upon thousands can be in the ground or in a structure and need to be DUSTED.....with chemicals not available over the counter. It takes a few days for all of the bees do die. AND they may come back after the poison has died so retreatment is necessary. Yellow jackets are ALSO carnivores.......so cover up any garbage you have - they LOVE garbage, chicken scraps, meat.....and soda. It draws them. Hope you feel better. But do get checked out.......
