I'm not sure this works ALL the time, but I got a wasp sting and my mom told me to put a little soft, wet, mud. I got like 2 hives when I got stung and I put mud on them. let the mud dry and when you feel like it, clean it off.

Banana Peel
Jenn in Indiana -My son was stung by a bee at soccer pratice and another mom suggested I place the inside of a banana peel on the wound. I had my son hold it on the wound for about 15 minutes and it was almost completely gone. No swelling or anything.

Ripe fruit from Neem tree
Jojo in Hawaii -I got a nasty wasp sting on my arm 2 days ago which caused the area to swell and itch. First I tried taking 12 grams of Vitamin C along with Quercetin which seemed to keep it from swelling more but the swelling didn't seem to be going down so I decided to rub the ripe fruit from my Neem tree on the area. It got real itchy and then the swelling went down w/in an hour so I rubbed more neem fruit and the itch went away and swelling also lessened. I think I still have the stinger in me but my arm is doing a lot better after using neem.

copper penny removes stinger
Kathleen Duerr in Madison, Wisconsin -I was stung by a huge bumble bee on my hand. Within seconds the veins raised up and the hand swelled as if it hand been sprained. Even the fingers were sore and arthritic feeling. A welt raised and made a ring stemming from the sting. I thought there was no stinger after fishing with a tweezers, but a week later it was still miserable. I went to a site where someone suggested the penny as a remedy and others had said it really worked. Because the week had passed I thought I was too late. I made a patch of pennies and put it on the ring of venom infected area. No good. I tried aloe vera which brought immediate temporary relief. One entire week after the sting I decided to try the penny on the opening to the wound/sting. The site said to leave it on for 15 minutes. I had a hard time sitting still and got up and did things, the penny fell off so I put it back on for 2 minutes more than the 15, just to be sure. IT WORKED! Two little black spots appeared and I removed them which caused complete healing. The original source of the remedy said to tape the penny on. I'd suggest that. Now I can't find the site to tell them how well it worked but I'm going to persevere. I couldn't resist sharing it with this site because it had not yet been mentioned.

Salt and vinegar
terri g. in warren RI -No not the chips! Make a paste (just enough to cover the sting) table salt and a drop or two of vinegar. Apply directly. almost instantly draws out stinger.

Soap
CR in London -Just rub soap into the sting as quickly as possible. Bee stings are acidic so the alkaline soap neutralises the sting. If you rub lemon juice in as suggested above it will make the sting ten times worse. Lemon juice is for the alkaline wasp sting.

Honey
Tracy in Abbotsford, BC, Canada -Don't know (personally) if this works. A friend of mine heard about it, then tried and says it does. Rubbing honey on the affected area is supposed to relieve pain and itch. It seems almost too obvious for it not to.
