    Sad yellow jacket sting!!!!Help!!!

    I just go stung by a yellow jacket!!!!! I was getting in my car and all of the sudden I felt this sharp pain on my back. My first thought was that it might have been a spider. But as I got out of the drivers seat I realized it was a yellow jacket on the seat back. What should I do???? Will it leave a stinger??It hurts...going to hop in the shower now to let cool water run over it. I am supposed to go to work tonight too.

    The one thing that helped me was taking some mud and spreading it over the stung area. It'll be tender and sore for a while...and will probably leave a big, red splotch...but, they USUALLY don't leave a stinger. Don't scratch at it (it'll spead the toxin...which is only bad for people who are allergic...but still)...and just leave the mud on it until its completely dry. Rinse with cool water.

    I got stung on the inner thigh a couple summer's ago...not fun.

    A little late, but antihistamines will help the allergic reaction.
