#187 What to do when a wasp bites

Well, Our little vacation was over and it was time to head back to work.   I was so tempted to call in sick.  Especially since my arm was still swollen from the wasp bite I had gotten a couple days before.  I had been taken antihistamines for it, but I don't handle them well. So, with little sleep, a swollen arm and nausea I headed off to work. 

Mid day it wasn't getting any better so I had one of the docs look at it just to makes sure it wasn't getting infected.  He advised me to keep taking the antihistamines, but  also said to  add prilosec or zantac with it.   Which I did.   I also went online and they advised icing it and using a paste with baking soda. So, I spent the day with an ice pack and put the soda paste on it when I got home.    It is looking better now.  However, now that the swelling is going  down I can see it was just not one bite but 4 or 5.  Nasty little buggers.
