The difference is bee stings hurt so freakin bad and prickles not so much. If she is in heaps of pain go down the bee sting route, if not then don't!]]> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 09:23:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236756&title=bee-sting#1236756 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236584&title=bee-sting#1236584 Author: cuppatea

ah ok, I'll try to remember that. Maybe it was a wasp that got me. Was right on the inside of my arm and through my top, really freakin hurt, but I didn't see what got me, just felt it.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:16:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236584&title=bee-sting#1236584 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236566&title=bee-sting#1236566 Author: Bizzy

thats true that wasps dont - but bees definitely do. My son got his book out about it the other day when eden got stung by a wasp.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:53:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236566&title=bee-sting#1236566 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236470&title=bee-sting#1236470 Author: Kazper

I got stung by a wasp when DD was a newborn and I was laid up in bed for two days. I got so sick. I have never had an allergic reaction before to stings, but that was bad. I then got stung by a bee 2 weeks later (bad luck aye!) and it hurt in the moment, but felt fine after.

DD comes up in those big white lumps with red with just a normal itchy bite. I always freak out though worrying if its a sting.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:38:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236470&title=bee-sting#1236470 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236397&title=bee-sting#1236397 Author: T_Rex

Normal bees leave the stinger behind too, but it sometimes falls out of the person before you see it. I'd just leave it for a while, if there is a prickle in it, it'll show up soon enough and you can dig it out.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:45:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236397&title=bee-sting#1236397 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236378&title=bee-sting#1236378 Author: E&L+1

Prickles normally won't turn the surrounding skin white. If the sac has fallen off the sting then it will look a bit like one of those prickles you get with the ends that you can hold onto to pull out.

It won't hurt to treat it as a sting just in case.

Honey Bees do leave stings behind I had one stuck to the sting in my foot, the bee fell off and left the sting behind as I lifted my foot up.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:32:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236378&title=bee-sting#1236378 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236363&title=bee-sting#1236363 Author: cuppatea

if it was a bee it would be bigger than a prickle and have some of the bees backside stuck to it too.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 19:06:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236357&title=bee-sting#1236357 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236340&title=bee-sting#1236340 Author: cuppatea

I got a sting on xmas day, it really hurt I nearly cried...lol
It came up as a white raised lump with a big red patch round it and I could see the spot where the stinger had got me, the white patch got bigger and bigger for about an hour and then started to go down again.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:50:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236340&title=bee-sting#1236340 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236304&title=bee-sting#1236304 Author: Raspberryjam

For someone who is not allergic to bee stings, how can you tell if she has got a bee sting or a prickle in her foot? She didn't see a bee but there was a site of prickle/sting visible, and it was all surrounded in white almost immediately.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:21:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37395&PID=1236293&title=bee-sting#1236293
