A bee flew in my car window while I was laughing! It went down my throat and stung me twice befor I swallowed it. The stinger seems to be stuck in one spot in my throat. Will this just release at some point or should I have a Dr remove it? I have NO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE and am a single mom. Please help! I have found that only ice chips really relieve any pain for a small amount of time.

I got bitten but didn’t feel the bite. Then got a nasty blister. It had a stinger. I know I would have felt a bee or wasp because I have been stung by those before and that hurts.
Where is a bee’s stinger located?
i stepped on one the other day and it stung the bottom of my foot. i removed the stinger but it has begun to itch terribly.
Apparently queen bees have relatively small barbs on their stingers, so they are not injured when they remove their stingers as most worker bees are. The stinger is a modified oviposter, or appendage for laying eggs.
Apparently, I do not understand bee abdominal structure. I thought that instead of laying eggs, the worker bee oviposters were modified to create stingers instead, which was why worker bees do not lay eggs like the queen bees do.
However, since queen bees do have a stinger, and even some worker bees do lay eggs (albeit unfertilized eggs), this is not totally accurate. How can a queen both sting and lay eggs ? How can worker bees sting and sometimes lay eggs?
