(Continued from my earlier comment.) Responding to a bee/hornet/wasp/yellow jacket sting:  IF you can see the stinger, pull it out.  Then, if you do not have drawing salve on hand, PLEASE do the following: Make a MUD patty as quickly as possible.  Find some dirt (not gravel, not potting soil...good old earthen DIRT), under the grass, beneath a tree, near a ditch or path.  Grab a good handful of dirt, get rid of stones and pebbles, and add water wherever you can find it (spit forever, if you have to) and make a patty or poultice of MUD.  Apply the mud directly to the sting site, and hold it there for 1o or 15 minutes.  Try to rest, lie down or relax.  Then, make another mud patty and put THAT one on the wound, discarding the first one.  Keep making new patties until you feel the pain subsiding.  If you are not allergic, you'll feel minor irritation for a few days, but nothing too serious.  If you ARE allergic, the drawing salve/mud will pull out the poison en route to the hospital.
