I wonder why the poultice seemed to ignite screaming if it doesn't burn, perhaps just because I was touching the wound as it did happen fairly recent so it still was hurting her and was sensitive.
Now she's yelling "LOOK HOW FAST I CAN RUN" despite the sting being on her big toe, so I guess she's good hah.
I'll have to try baking soda, mud, or lavender oil next time as those definitely take less time to put together than the poultice did!

Toothpaste often works very well if it is applied to the sting quickly.

However, I am very unlikely to go around with a tube of toothpaste in my pocket wherever I go. On the other hand, my small bottle of lavender oil (see my post above ) takes no room at all and was very handy when I was swarmed by a wasps nest, 10 minutes away from the house, or when my other half got stung while driving!
We were at home so toothpaste was definitely an option.
But my word you have me realizing I need a first aid kit in my car! I'll have to include some lavender.

Venoms
Bee and wasp venoms are different, each containing distinct major allergens, which are well defined. Phospholipase A2 and mellitin occur only in bee venom, and antigen 5 only in wasp venom, but both venoms contain hyaluronidases. Patients allergic to wasp venom are rarely allergic to bee venom.
