Here is a plant that you can use if you get stung from bee/wasp or from any poisonous insects/snakes etc ...

Scientific name is Plantago asiatica L.(Plantago major L. var. asiatica Decaissne). These plants are used in traditional Chinese and folk medicine to release the poison from bee/wasp/insects/snakes wound, and for a great number of other kind of wounds
In Spring I will have baby plants available for free in anyone interested .
If you get bee stings, just mash a leaf or chew it up to release the juices, then apply it on the bee wound . According to many scientific studies, in the leaves of this plant there is a substance called Aucubin ---> an iridoid glycoside. Iridoids are commonly found in plants and function as defensive compounds. Iridoids decrease the growth rates of many generalist herbivores (Wikipedia)
