That's also how you treat getting hit by a stingray. The heat breaks down the proteins in the venom which reduces the pain.

I always used Copenhagen for stings and cold mustard for burns.

I vote chaw of tobacco also

Growing up my Grandpa would take some Copenhagen and make aTopical tobacco paste. Worked instantly took the pain and swelling away

I have done this for jellyfish. Put over half a can in mouth until mouth filled up with spit+Cope, spit in hand and rubbed in all over burning areas. Knocked it down 75+ percent.

Cope works really?

I remember going to a little league baseball game when I was 6 and I was screwing around under the bleachers with some friends and I got stung by a Yellowjacket on the side of my head just above my eye and yelped. Within 15 seconds and before I knew what hit me some old guy took his Red Man out of his mouth and slapped it on my head. I had spit running down my face. It worked and it was pretty funny.

Tobacco is alkaline like baking soda and bleach.
