Any visible signs of Insects,where is the bite?

oldsplice 24 October 2007 08:44 PM

If it was a wasp, use vinegar. works like magic! :)

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 :thumb:

Quick,get yourself to hospital

ScoobLou 24 October 2007 08:45 PM

I cant find anything. My finger is burning and swelling up. I need to find what it is if not I wont rest :(

Suresh 24 October 2007 08:45 PM

Scrape the stinger out if there is one still in there.
Ice pack on the sting, but not for more than a couple of mins at a time or you risk killing the flesh.

Prolly should call an ambulance if you start wheezing. HTH.

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.

ScoobLou 24 October 2007 08:54 PM

Oh feck I cant find anything :confused:

Maz 24 October 2007 08:54 PM

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 :thumb:

ScoobLou 24 October 2007 09:10 PM

Seriously I havent found anything but sure its in my bedsheet but I'm too scared to handle it too much. If its bee/wasp will it get me through gloves?

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

They normally live in symbiosis.

ScoobLou 24 October 2007 09:27 PM

A white anglo-saxon protestant? That explains the gloves at least!

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 :thumb:
