Robb, thanks, I thought it worked but I only got stung once this year.

I used the ignighter from a hand held gas lighter that I took apart. I zapped 
my sting about 50 times. It got real red for about a 1" radius around the 
sting and itched a little for a few hours but never swelled. The following day 
I 
had to remember to look for the hole as there was no other reminder.
