Answer:

the answer is under explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The body produces a chemical known as histamine, in an effort to protect the body from foreign substances, which is partly what causes the swelling and itching. Taking an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Benadryl right after getting stung can reduce these symptoms.
