How Do You Stop The Itch Of A Wasp Bite?
With an affinity for building nests under eaves and on covered porches, wasps can be an extremely bothersome pest during warm months. Wasp stings deliver a venom that results in an itching sensation around the affected area. Unless you’re allergic, most wasp stings are not serious and can be easily treated. Wash the wound with soapy water and a clean rag. Wrap ice in a dry cloth and apply it to the bite for 10 to 15 minutes. Cooling the bite will help numb the area to prevent itch. Elevate the affected area, if possible, so that it is higher than your heart.This helps reduce blood flow to the area slightly, which will help with the itch and to reduce swelling. Apply an antihistamine gel or lotion to the bite.
