Dym that looks like you are allergic too going by the swelling, hope it goes down soon.

All the advice has been taken on board.

Names have been written down

Currently munching ibuprofen, however my 'Hellboy' hand is still present...

The makers of nurofen seem to have been watching The Matrix, shame they got the colour wrong

Impressive

I hate the bloody things, got stung repeatedly on walton pier years ago. Kinda put me off them

bloody hell dude, your hand looks as swollen as mine

Lomster · 26-07-2009, 19:05

Have you had any piriton or similar medication? if not might be worth having some as it should bring swelling down a bit, well hopefully!!

I've been usin an a-h cream... Has stopped much of the itching but not the swelling and stiffness :/

Looks nasty. I have a similar problem with gnat bites

They swell to ridiculous sizes with me and take ages to heal, even caused some scarring on my leg.

Hope it gets better soon!

Unbelieveable. At 3pm yesterday I was gorge scrambling in the Brecon Beacons on a stag do. As I climbed over the fence to leave for the day I felt a sharp pain on the inside of my right ring finger. I thought I'd nicked it on something on the fence at first because it was actually bleeding, but within minutes I had One Big Hand® so I knew it was a sting - probably a wasp.

After a hayfever tablet the swelling went down, and by the time I was out on the beers again it was right as rain. I highly recommend an antihistamine if you have any.

Groovy conincidence though.

rather apt

Looks like you're mildly allergic - poor bugger. The swelling tends to be more painful than the sting I find. I advise never to get stung by a hornet, cricket ball sized lump ensues - deadly ****ers.
