Also, pop yourself down to A&E / Walk in centre, even local chemist. If you have been stung multiple times, you need to get some antihistamines in you.

On my first aid at work course refresher. We watched a video where a girl was choking. she went from choking to full black out in less that 10 seconds. speed is vital and you did what you had to do. and from a wheelchair as well. May I add a humble well done too.
