Actually, I've used meat tenderizer for stings and found it fairly
effective as are household ammonia and Mrs. Stewarts Laundry Blueing.
The commercial product "Sting-Kill" is also good.  My own favorite is
simply holding a cold-pack (I often use a bag of frozen peas) on the
sting site for several minutes.  Of course, none of these tricks will
do much good if you are allergic.
