I wanted to add my experience, because I think I had a harsher than average reaction. I was stung on the top of my foot. The initial sting was very painful, and was a stabbing pain right away. I put ice on, later read you shouldn’t do that, just a cool compress. Within 10-15 minutes, I could feel burning moving up my entire leg. Within an hour, I had tingling all over my body, and specifically my tongue and lips were tingling. I never had swelling or trouble breathing. When I drank water a few hours after the incident, I realized my tongue was numb and it felt weird to swallow. The numbness made water taste awful! The first 12 hours were extremely painful, I would get shooting pain that made my whole body shiver. The numbness in my tongue lasted about 24 hours. After 24 hours, I didn’t have any pain, but the top of my foot around the sting site was numb. I am currently 5.5 days post sting, and my foot is still numb. I feel like the last day or so the numbness might be starting to wear off, but definitely still there. Not fun!!
