I will remember that, Benedryl dosage, if I have the misfortune of a bee or wasp sting in the future.

Of course I will be a zoned out puppy taking 50mg -— but at least I won’t itch or hurt because I won’t be feeling a thing :)

That’s 50 mg every 4-6 hours, too. For days.....

And don’t count on not feeling anything.

I wish it did......>:(

The generic antihistamine is excellent for mosquitoes and other UFO’s....But, bees and yellow jackets are another story...

Before a trip to the East, I was stung by a bee between my toes. My leg swelled up to the knee. Got on a plane the next day, gone 10 days, (very glad it was summer and could wear sandals, because my foot was soooo swollen). Anyway it took a month for the leg to return to normal. Haven’t been stung since...not looking forward to the next time.
