As it happens, I just saw an odd one one earlier this morning: tape a 
penny over the site of the sting.  It was in Comment #3 on this page:

Personally, I think it's a case of giving the person something to do for 
the 10-15 minutes it takes for the pain to fade, but hey, for some 
people it might be better than just gritting your teeth and waiting it out.
