Meat Tenderizer

  • Apply a meat tenderizer-water solution on a cotton ball for 20 minutes (EXCEPTION: near the eye). This may neutralize the venom and decrease pain and swelling.
  • If not available, apply aluminum-based deodorant or a baking soda solution for 20 minutes.
  • For persistent pain, massage with an ice cube for 10 minutes.
