    Ow! Just got stung on a toe by a bee while kneeling in the garden, felt like being jabbed with a lit fag. I'm hoping I don't get an allergic reaction, I'm prone to them. OK so far, it was half an hour ago. Washed it with acetic acid solution. Not had one for years.

    Bee venom is acidic, so you ought to wash the area with a solution of bicarbonate of soda, or try toothpaste. Wasp stings on the other hand are alkaline.
