Bicarbonate of soda is no slouch at sunburn and itches, either added to a bath or mixed into a paste. Very useful stuff bicarb of soda - also good for indigestion and putting out electrical/stove fires.

BTW, a paste of monosodium glutamate (Accent) provides instant relief for the swelling and itch.
I always thought the cure was a belt sander.

I ran a lawnmower against a tree stump with a hornets' nest in it. After spending some fun time running away, I decided I had to deal with the hornets. A bit of petrol around and over the stump followed by a match tends to deal with the problem spectacularly. Good conversation point for the neighbours as well.
Speaking of conversation points for the neighbors - are poision ivy and bee attacks gossip material?

No. Poison ivy wouldn't be very conversational anyway. I could a bee attack being conversational, though. I mean check this out!
Totally conversation-worthy. Discuss.
