If it's a bee sting, the stinger is ripped off his bod and is now in yours - big prob, until it is removed.

If it's a wasp sting, you can paint it with clear nail polish and experience almost immediate relief.

Thanks guys. I was calmly swimming laps, minding my own business, when one got me. Despite my formerly active and outdoorsy lifestyle, I haven't been stung in at least 25 years - OUCH. I didn't know what happened and thought I swam into a branch so I immediately pulled out whatever it was. I pasted baking soda on the site and am still alive after 30 minutes, so hopefully I'll make it :) That's what I get for planting to attract the birds and the bees.
