Not sure I'd home doctor it if you are new to this, infections can run amok.

Te temperature should be above 60 degrees Celsius, the higher te better, and it should stay there for at least 10 seconds, the longer the better. If you do that quickly after being stung, majority of the venom disintegrates and you will not swell. I was using the knife warmed in hot water, as well as hair dryer. The key is to use this trick very soon after being stung. When the venom has already spread, this trick is useless.

Richard Cleaver wrote:We've kept bees for a while now and I get stung a couple of times each year. Essential oil of lavender does the trick. One drop on the sting and any discomfort is usually gone in about 10 minutes. It does depend a bit on where you are stung.
Lavender works for all insect bites but it's also very effective on burns. It's the only essential that is safe to put on your skin without diluting.
