Homeopathy is useful in so many situations. Bee and Wasp stings are no exception. While there are several more remedies to consider for bites and stings, Apis is at the top of my list, especially when stings produce rapid and intense redness and swelling. They are highly sensitive to touch and feel they will burst with even slight pressure. Another great bite remedy is Staphysagria, especially when the victim is the feeling tormented, vulnerable and/or invaded (also useful after catheters and in UTIs). The area is often highly sensitive and itchy. There are so many others to great remedies to consider, but trying a 30c dose of either of these is a great place to start experimenting. Obviously, these are not to be used instead of medical care but as a supportive measure in acute situations.
