Bee or Yellow Jacket Sting
FIRST AID Advice - Bee Sting - How to Remove a Stinger
The stinger looks like a tiny black dot in the center of the sting. There are many different methods of removal. Removing the stinger quickly is more important than the method of removal used.
- You can scrape it out with a credit card or finger nail.
- You can also use adhesive tape.
- If only a small fragment remains, don't worry about it. It will shed with the skin.
Special Notes:
- In many cases no stinger will be present.
- Only bees leave their stingers. Wasps, yellow jackets and hornets do not.
