Help fellas!!
How do you stop the stinging pain from baldface hornet stings, got nailed 3 times (once in the cheek once on the side of leg just above knee and once behind the knee) this am and the damn things still feel like it just happened? Uj' did not help?

I went into the tool trailer, lookin for hanger nails, trailer was kind of dark, we have not been in for about a month, got almost to the front, and then bam bam bam, they are mean som bitches, the nest was the size of a basketball.

I did get my revenge 5 cans of wasp killer and damn you dead bastards, but DAMN my pain is lasting longer then theirs, so are there any suggestions?

Ammonium hydroxide (called "ammonia" at the store sometimes), apply and keep the area wet with it for 5 min or so.

sounds funny, but it is short term relief. baby orajel. longer term baking soda paste, just simply make a paste of baking soda and a few drops of water.

whichever one you use is best followed by the abuse of an alcoholic beverage of your choosing.

Normally I do the baking soda paste for stings.

Thanks fellas!
I did the baking soda when I returned from work, helped for awhile!
Then the wife found a sting pen we have here at the house, its main ingredient is ammonia, so I soaked the sting spots with a rag(per heartcut) it worked so far aleast they dont burn any more.

It has been awhile since I have been stung, and man oh mister I'll take a yellow jacket sting any day over these bald face hornets! :wtf: they are bad ass wicked!

Make sure the stinger is out, then put some urine on it, then put a chewed plug of tobacco on it...
The quicker you do these things tha better...

I know, I know, URINE :shock: but when an ol bald face hornet hits ye, it really don't matter...

Fresh urine is great for an earache as well...

Urine will work, I've done that in the field and it sounds disgusting but it works better then anything else out there that I've found.

What really will do the trick is about a pint of whiskey and a day off. :)

If all else fails just cut your leg off, that will solve the problem for sure.

Last time I got bit/stung was in my mouth after taking a swig of orange pop from a can. I swear it felt like there was an army in my mouth. I took a couple of big swigs from my benadryl bottle that I always carried 'cause I was the first responder. Good thing I didn't know about urine then, or I would have probably lost my job.

That would require a 1/2 gallon of whiskey. :)

Seriously, I just throw on some wet tobacco as soon as I'm stung.

Holly shit! Dudes this is wild, yes I heard urine works, but I was not about to set in one place and piss down my leg,and then soak in it all day, they also taught us in tech school(equipment op & engineering) that if any one passes out in the field from heat stroke and there is no water around pee on them to cool them down, I told my class mates, " ya pee on me ya better not be around when I come to", but in dire straits it is better then cookin from the inside out! Maybe!

Never understood the peeing on each other anyway!That is one thing that is just wrong! :wtf:

Hey if the shoe fits..... just don't pee in my shoe.

When I was a kid I got hit really bad by some hornets and went to the hospital. When I got out I decided to get my revenge by tying a Molotov cocktail to a stick and shoving it right into the nest. Long story short the tree went up and I about had to go to the hospital again after the beating I took. Ya not really well thought out but that's never been one of my strong points.
