  • Bee stings. (Not bees, I know they're quite necessary in the world.)

    Got stung on my hand simply by stretching my arms up in the air as I was about to go for a walk.

    This happened yesterday (so no worry about anaphylaxis) but my hand has swollen up and I can feel the swelling has gone halfway down the inside of my forearm. Will be off to the chemist when it opens to get some advice/antihistamines, and about to take some Ibuprofen and get an ice pack on it again. Anything else?

  • Ime urine really helps.

    A lot of people think you can get away with just pissing on the sting, but ideally you need some sort of emulsion to help it stay. The easiest is to add some oil into a jar in a 2:1 and shake it.

    Alternatively if your mayo is in a squeezie bottle you can empty half of it and shake it up in that. The squeezie bottle also makes application easier.

  • To save precious seconds you should always make a batch up ahead of time and keep it within arms reach at any outdoor picnic
