I believe it was a wasp but I am not sure it was quite big though.

I lend on it with my hand by mistake - of course and it stung my finger. It left the barb in my finger and so i pulled it out.

I have been in pain ever since I bacame upset at first and breathed fast but i think it was just the shock. I have tried ice water, vineger, wasp ease spray, and bi carb. Some took the pain away briefly but if just comes back.

my finger is a little swollen but the sting site is not visable. The pain is very bad in the finger but is effecting my whole hand to a degree and i have not been able to use the hand since, as it is my right im a bit stuffed.

yep anti histamine, get to your chemist they should be able to give you some strong ones.

I got stung on arm whilst in Spain, the wasp was about 2inches long and a fat thing, I put ice straight on the sting but it lest my arm paralised for about 24hours.

Get to your chemist now
