How should I treat a yellow jacket sting?

Answer by  Rose (6804)

The best remedy for Yellow Jacket stings or any bee stings would be to place chewing tobacco on the sting itself. It will help to draw out the stinger and to relieve the pain. A second option would be to numb the area by placing ice on it, this will reduce swelling and add in the pain.

To treat a yellow jacket sting, it's important to remove the stinger and apply ice. Using a credit card to scrape the stinger off rather than plucking it from the wound can help reduce the amount of poison that is injected. Applying ice can help numb the pain and reduce any swelling that might occur.
