Are you the new SaraSquares?
Can't help with the medicinal, but slam your head in the fridge door for 20 mins. Your Blue Nun might lose it's chill, bit it'll take your mind of things in the short term

What to use will depend on what stung you, what is good for a wasp sting (acid) is not good for a bee sting as it is acid and you should use an alkali. In general something like anthesan from the chemist will ease most bites / stings.

Possibly a spider. Some of them can sting, use some antiseptic cream or like Suresh suggests some ice.

Only a theory I'm probably wrong. It's just that the mild Autumn has meant that a lot of the insects that would normally die haven't. Anyhow I doubt if it was a spider, more likely a wasp or something.

Stand in the room making lots and lots of different bird noises. Spiders are scared of birds (natural predators) and it'll be sure to run away. Or die laughing at your bird impressions

Why do you lot persist in flouting the evolutionary course with half-baked offerings of ill-informed help& advice ?
Just let them hurt, they'll soon learn

If it was a bee it'll be dead, a wasp cannot penetrate thick gloves.

Na that's just coincidence, believe me there is still a huge motha fooka spider lurking in there (that's what bit you as he thought you were trying to steal his waspy dinner) and now his wasp is gone, he might eat you instead now

Evening Tam. I had just about dispelled that notion, now how is poor Lou going to sleep tonight?!
