How long does a sting or bite pain last for?

If it was a sea urchin you need to piss on it.

Apparently the same thing applies if you get stung on your head, should be an interesting experiment trying to piss on your own head

A new version of 'Highest up the wall'

PS I'd never been stung by a beastie, till I jet washed out the last of two nests... the pain thing was over rated.... Never noticed it, until the bloody thing was right between my eyes...

I'd guess there wouldn't be a queue of people waiting to piss on the OP even if he was on fire...

Ah, you just can't let it go can you. It must be sad being all bitter and twisted

It's stopped hurting now but it's still a bit painful if i touch it.

get some (if you have any) bicarb of soda, mix with a little water to form a paste, apply to sting and leave over night.

My dad was bitten by something in the garden the other week, his whole arm swelled and his hand was like a balloon and bright red. I rang 111 (my dad has a heart condition but he's one of those who avoids hospitals at all costs) and they said only go to A&E if he feels unwell or it shows signs of infection.

He didn't so applied cold compress on and off and it had fully gone down after a few days. He's convinced it was a spider but not too sure.

The last two posts were much too sensible. I recommend weeing on the afflicted part.

Might I perhaps offer some advice?

LEAVE IT ALONE

That'll be difficult. I'm one of those who can't leave medical worries alone. If i find a lump i'll keep prodding it till it gets bigger then think it's something serious.

Bee sting two weeks ago, pain for 20 mins and then tenderness for another 3 days.
Horse fly bite last week, pain, nah, but itchy for 3 days.
I'm off to find an wasps nest to prod.

@Accy cyclist if you are bald use a soap and sugar poultice, mix a bit of regular hand washing soap with sugar to form a paste apply to a lint pad and bandage over the offending bite and tape or bandage in place, by the morning there will be nothing there except perhaps a small hole where the crap has been drawn out.

@steve50 are you my gran?

 

[steve50]

A whole human brane?

Brane????
I don't think it works well enough to draw out a BRAIN

 

[steve50]

@steve50 are you my gran?

I don't think so, at least not the last time I looked in the mirror I'm just old school, brought up in an era where old remedies like the soap and sugar poultice where common place.
