We get a few bees early in the morning in our balcony and they usually are on the floor. I stepped on one and it sting me in the sole. This is a very painful sting! I googled and found that toothpaste could help and so rubbed a little on my sole. It seems to have worked - there was relief from the pain in a few minutes and is now feeling normal. The last time I had a similar incident, it took the pain more than a day to get better. So maybe home remedies work!!

Most of pain relief oinment have mint, Paste also have mint so it is give some relief, but total cure with it is not possible.

It will take time to complete relief. It is better you take anti-alergic pills.

I have very minor local pain at the sting site. No allergic reaction. So I haven't taken any meds

I'm sure some home remedies do work. Toothpaste is recommended for itches too.

Right now it's barely noticeable. I think the toothpaste remedy worked.

@pitstop You have a really healthy body. Toothpaste plus immune system did the job.
