A wasp sting is very painful and causes considerable swelling even in non-allergy sufferers. Onion juice is a proven and effective home remedy to relieve or kill the pain in a matter of seconds.

 

Press a slice of fresh onion onto the sting and hold it there for a few minutes. The quicker the onion is pressed onto the affected area after the wasp sting, the quicker the pain will disappear and the less swelling there will be.

 

So always have a fresh onion with you when you go out in summer!
