Stung

I got stung by something yesterday in my thumb. I didn't feel it actually happen, but noticed it when my finger felt itchy... It had a little zit like dot & a black stinger stuck in the middle. Nothing big, but I want to get this thing out!!!!!!

How can I do this without tweezers????

Re: Stung

i would use the tweezer just to make sure you get it all out. feel better

Re: Stung

I would go and get a pair of tweezers to make sure that you don't hurt yourself more and you get the entire thing out.

Re: Stung

The only way you could get it out without tweezers is to take a pin, clean it and then gently pick away at the skin around the area. It won't hurt b/c your fingers have a good amount of dead skin but you need to be really careful as to not prick yourself.

Once the area is "open" you should be able to wash out the stinger with some water and soap.

After you're finished washing your hands, just put a bandaid on it to keep it clean and covered.

Good luck!
