Medical Conditions & Treatments : How to Remove a Bee Stinger

The most effective way to remove a bee stinger is not by using tweezers, but by scraping the stinger away from the direction that it came from, and this can be achieved by using a driver's license or credit card. Avoid squeezing venom into the body when removing the bee stinger with help from a licensed RN in this free video on removing bee stingers.

Thanks for getting straight to the point - the last thing I need when stung by a bee is to sit through ads and a history lesson.

To the point and great advice. Plenty of other videos give the WRONG advice suggesting using tweezers. Best to use a card or other object to scrape off stinger

Won't work unless the bee goes in a an angle as u show. What if it stung u straight down? How do u remove it then? Say a bee stung u many hours ago and it's gone from hurting to itching. But u still feel it and the itching is around the dark dot of the stinger still in ur swing.

How do u get it out, please?

Last week my 2-year-old got stung by a bee just under his eyebrow. He was right in front of me and I had a Swiss Army Knife in my pocket. I immediately pulled out its tweezers and removed the stinger in seconds, before the venom kicked it, so it didn't even swell. It was a success.

I got a sting in my thumb at the age of 5. I had to bend my thumb back; otherwise it would hurt.

Is it Chuck E. Cheese or Dave & Buster’s card close enough? Because that’s all I have

[winnie-the-poohahaha]

Just grab it and remove it as quick as possible. After 3 seconds its to late to worry about finding a scraping tool
