Sting & Itch Relief... This stuff works pretty well.

... But, be forewarned...  Shake it, Flip the cap UP, and squeeze what you need/want UP... If you hold it down, as you'd think would make sense, it comes out really fast!   :o

This is my 'go to',   it has 20% benzicaine, 1% Menthol, 15% Isop alcohol. Kills the pain right now. They also travel well. I do like that yours has aloe and camomile in it tho  :)

Jen,

who makes yours and where can it be purchased?

Mine is clearly from Rite Aid!

I have found them at Rite Aide as well, Walmart, pretty much any store with a pharmacy in it. But I find that these are summer stocked, not alway available all year long. So I stock up in the early summer. I like the wipes cause they can slip into a wallet our pocket.

i keep on hand and in a first aid kit when we travel what jen shows in post #2, the sting kill swabs in the tubes.  does kill the pain 'right now' and they do work for a short period of time.  for long term relief, take  benadyrl right away, the sooner the better, and use an ice pack if need be for swelling/relief.  ;)

I use this. The pain is still there, but by then I really don't care much!  :laugh:

Perry,

In your professional opinion, do you think this might help?:

Should find a photo of Clorox Bleach. Number one sting relief if applied nearly immediately. Big yellow jacket or hornet got me on Tuesday while I was standing in a pond, couldn't put bleach on it til I got out. Granted, my instinct since beekeeping caused me to grab yellow jacket gently and throw it so as not to inject more venom by whacking it.  But I scratched sting open when I got to shore and smeared on a good amount of bleach, instant relief. One  benadryl I took 30 minutes later as it was feeling like it MIGHT swell. a little purple mark that night, healing now.

An M.D. acquaintance of mine mixes eight parts of water to one part of bleach and keeps it in a small spray bottle.  He recommends spraying it on all stings immediately.  Stings don't swell me much, if at all, so I just take a slug of liquid benedryl and keep on trucking.

I still use Mud, and if there isn't any close by, who ever is with me is always willing to unzip his pants and make me some. :no: So i just let it itch and hurt, it reminds me to be more careful. ;D Jack

Jen, that's beyond gross, even by by oil field standards, although they did teach us in Ranger Survival School that your own urine was benign to you.  Still, making mud…………..
