This might sound dumb, but does a new sting affect birth control? i'm on sprintec. and my first time getting stun.

Not sure of the ?: I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. If you were stung by a bee or a bug, this should have no effect whatsoever on birth control. It seems unlikely the two have any interactions.

Unsure: what the question is. Certainly a bee, wasp, spider, or tick bite would not interact with birth control pills.
