putting a paste of baking soda and water on the sites will help stop the stinging, or you can rub apple cider vinegar on the sites. put aloe vera on the sites after the stinging subsides for fast healing.

You might have a reaction to it, including a rash. But any effects probably will not last for longer than a week. If you do get a rash and it bothers you, you can get OTC cream that should help.\n\nMany ants carry tiny amounts of poison, which can't really do a whole lot to most people. If you get more serious reaction than a slight rash, contact your doctor as you might be having an allergic reaction.\n\nIn reality, don't worry about it. You're probably fine.

What I use is called Herbal Canker Care by Quantum.  I got it from the health food store.  With all that I've tried, I've had the best results from this so far.  The sores seem to heal the fastest using this.  Also try using L-lysine (in tablet form) found at either walmart or your health food store.

If you get a tic try to use rubbing alcohol our put some thing hot on its body the shock will make it release its bite. Then pull it off. To avoid them there are some bug repellents that they will shy from.

The best one I've found is Deet, but I've heard good things about Bite Blocker:\n\nhttp://www.bug-spray.org/

Use an antacid such as Tums or Rolaids.\nThis will neutralize the acid in your stomach and relieve the burn that the acid is causing.

Watch for these signs:\n\ndifficulty breathing\nred streaks around the area you got stung\nswelling\nnausea / vomiting\nheadache\nintense itching or extreme pain or burning sensation that doesn't let up\n\nIf you are experiencing these, then go to the ER  right away. If it just hurts some and is a little red, try this:\n\nput ice on the area\n\ntake advil to reduce pain and inflammation\n\ntake benadryl to reduce itching and allergic reactions\n\nIf you see the stinger, carefully remove it with tweezers\n\nsome people will tell you to make a paste out of baking soda and water and place it on the area to "draw out" the poisen......it won't hurt you if you do this.\n\nGo to your doctor if it becomes very red, swollen, has pus or other drainage coming out of it, is warm to the touch, if you have a temp. over 100, or if it just doesn't heal.\n\nGood luck!

Rub Lavender oil on the burn a couple of times & again before bed & it will be better by morning without blistering or peeling it's great for burns of all kinds, good luck.

You need to drink more water and liquids. This shows you have a fire constitution and should balance it with water and cooling foods and drinks. The more you use chemical stuff on them, the worse it will get. All these things are only temporary reliefs. You could try some honey mixed with olive oil on your lips at night or whenever you are at home. It should help - but overall don't forget to keep your entire system well hyrdated.

green tea infused with sliced ginger root and a bit of honey will relieve some of the symptoms, though not heal you any more quickly. \n\nZicam is awesome, and works well.
