I was told to put pennies on the site of the stings for 15 minutes. The copper stops the pain.

So sorry that happened. Hope they will both feel better soon. Has the dr. given your DH anything for pain?

I've heard that attacks like that with so many stings can cause an allergic reaction to future stings. Don't know if that is true or not, but your dr. would probably know.

Keep an eye on both DH and pooch for delayed re-actions Nephew was OK for a day then ended up in the hospital the poison had a delayed re-action- Respritory Failure-is common

I'm glad your husband is better today, I read that news first and then came to see what happened to him and the dog. (Poor doggie!)

Your husband's pyromaniac buddy sounds like my father. One time he got the bright idea to burn the grass in the yard because that's the natural thing to do. Darn near took out our house. :(
