I love tattoos but dread the healing process because I am allergic to any time of ointment and lotions tend to make me break out. Normally the healing for my tattoos is red, itchy mess for about a month or more. I was so excited to hear my tattoo artist tell me to use coconut oil.
Here are the steps you need to take after someone who is allergic has been stung: 1  Remove any stingers immediately. Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card. 2  Applying ice to the site may provide some mild relief. Apply ice for 20 minutes once every hour as needed.
A honey bee stings to protect itself or the hive from a perceived threat. The hive contains the queen bee, the young bees and the stores of honey. Bees are programmed to protect their hive at all costs. A worker honey bee typically only stings if threatened, or if you are near its hive. An exception to this rule is the Africanized worker bee, which is known to be more aggressive. Africanized bees may sting with less provocation than it would take for a regular honey bee to sting.
