Hey guys, i finally got my first bee sting right on my forearm, when i was inspecting the hive, this is my first year beekeeping, but after being comfortable with my bees, i decided not to wear the gloves, i've been working without gloves for about 3 months, and yesterday was the first day i got stung...
Right when i got stung i hit the bee off my arm, and i had the stinger in my arm.. so i used my nail to get it out.. it hurt a little right when i got stung, but than it was ok.. , today when i woke up, i see a big red spot about 5 inches long my arm.. its red.. i am thinking i got that because i was itching it at night? maybe... is that normal?
i feel ok, its just its little ichy, i always want to itch the red part, but trying not to touch it...
can u guys just tell me if its normal, and what should i have done, besides taking out the stinger, and putting rubbing alcohol on the wound?
