I got stung by a paper wasp

[unicornduke]

and its on my ankle which is one of the most unhelpful places to be stung. It would have been worse if it was my foot but I've got fields of crops to walk tomorrow and its probably going to be pissy

Its a bit swollen and itchy but overall not bad, just annoying that its swollen and hot. Hopefully it goes down by tomorrow morning before I put on my boots

Bee and wasp venoms are thermolabile. Lots of heat will probably help if applied quickly. (Before it gets too deep.) Ice does not help; ice often makes it worse.

Glad it's not that bad overall.
