Make a paste with a small amount of water and baking soda, spread thickly on the sting area, leave for 5 minutes and you will find great relief..

Vinegar also helps.. Remove the stinger first and dab..

also, using the inside of a banana skin and placing it over the site of the sting is said to give great relief..
