That's what stings can do, sadly.

In reference to your reply to BI.... You got stung. That's what happens. Tea and sympathy won't make it heal any faster. We all have rough days. That's life :shrug: Put some ice on it and chill out... literally :winks:

Take some Benadryl. Antihistamines help with the swelling.

Well its been four days now and its on occasion swells up again as well as get itchy and red hot.
I see a long line on my finger and a dot so i think thats the stinger.
Isnt it dangerous to have venom still in my body?

Not unless you're allergic to it. It will heal faster if you can remove the stinger.

The stinger only has a certain amount of venom in it and after this time there won't be any in there and it will have been absorbed by your body.

You are infinitely more healthy than the bee now is..........

That's very true, Delilah. At least you know you got one up on the bee ;)

That bee really put up a fight

Yes, that's normal until your body expels the stinger because the longer it's in the skin, the longer the irritant remains. I'm a gardener, and I've gotten a lot of bee stings, unfortunately. Keep taking Benadryl to help with the reaction. Also use ice or ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.
