So earlier tonight the little girl across the street got stung by a bee. Keil comes flying through the door screaming that she needs to make "the paste" The paste is a cure all for bee stings and the like. The paste consists of baking soda and water and is mixes to a thick consistency. Grabbing the bowl she runs out the door while I grab a credit card to scrape out that stinger. I get across the street and Marc who is knelt down beside the little girl looks up at me and asks me for a tweezer.
The #1 item you should not get the stinger out with. ( This has been our safety tip for over a month at Diz) the reason we don't use this object is because we do not want to squeeze more venom into the person. Instead we scrape it out with a straight edged item in this case a credit card will suffice. And guess what? IT WORKED. We had a magical moment at home.
We applied the paste afterward to draw out the pain. That works too.
