Ouch! I feel for you: See your Dr for help w/ this. You might be experiencing allergic reactions to the stings on top of their own impact. An exam may lead to medications that will fight the inflammatory response and other benefits too. Obviously, try to avoid that sort of exposure in the future. Best!
