I am NOT allergic to bees but I am miserable. I soaked my foot in epson salts and started taking benadryl tablets last night. It was swollen yestderday but when I woke up this morning and my foot looks like a footbal. I cant even put pressure on it.
Does anyone have any old remedies for bee stings ?

Like everyone said you need a doctor and benadryl.
To help pull out the poison though drywall mud or plaster of paris works great.
I once had a bee come through my open car window while the car was going seventy miles an hour and slam right into my arm. Of course I slapped the bee real hard also the moment he hit me. I have never had a reaction to bees but I guess with the force he hit and stuff I got more bee venom than usual and I had an area on my arm swell to the size of a grapefruit and it was red hot. The swelling would not go down with ice, my uncle gave me drywall mud and told me to let it dry. By that night the swelling was gone and my arm felt better. Mud does help draw the poison out but I would never use dirt mud.
Plaster or drywall mud only.
