Various bug bites and stings

[margo49]

Cheap solutions that can be carried in a little sprayer / baggie:

Vinegar / lemon juice on wasp and hornet stings – the acid neutralizes the alkali in the venom

Baking soda for bee stings – since bee stings are acidic, the alkali in the baking soda neutralizes the acid

Thank you, meridian.
The vinegar is working.
I am sure you were all worried sick for me and that my pm inbox is overflowing with all your good wishes .
Now I just have to recall how the little fokkers looked for next time I do that route

[ margo49 obviously has Intuitive Powers guessing the right one to try first. Anyone need football pools? ]

Wonderful news margo! I'm glad you picked the right one to try first. I have no idea what would have happened if you had decided to try the baking soda instead..hopefully it wouldn't have made it worse
