Cai got stung by a bee on the 21st and I admit I was unsure how to remove the stinger because of some wives' tales I heard so I actually took a few seconds to look it up since I was near trusty Google. Here is what I found in case your kid gets stung by a bee: "Conventional wisdom says to scrape bee stingers away from the skin because pinching the venom sack could push extra venom into the victim. In fact, how fast you get the stinger out is much more important than how." Would've been nice to know before wasting time looking it up! I'm surprised at how long it is taking for the venom to clear out. UPDATE: It took weeks for the swelling to go down!
