Put some ice on to ease the swelling.

sucking the wound for poison to suck it out. Does that still have a role?

I remember reading sometimes ago that the barbs? of the bees cannot be directly pulled out because it'll damage the tissue more.

no barb when I checked. Bees (iirc) leave a barb but not wasps. bastards.

Anyway I'm now on a Crusade - nay, a Rampage - to rid Chateau Thomas from Wasps. The buzzy kind, with wings and stingers.

As a child, I put a ball cap upon my head, only to find it was inhabited by a wasp with a very foul-attitude. He stung me thirteen times before I could get the cap off. Probably explains a lot.

Obviously the first fuckin' thing you should do is go to a style forum and ask your internet pals what do.

WOW. Owie!

I caught a sting under the chin as a youth and remember it hurting like mad. This time it was more bothersome than excruciating. But it may be a while before I venture into the pool again sans swimsuit.

Well, that was the plan...but I got stung and then had to drive to work and procrastinated a bit and finally had a chance to poast.
