I'm the one who is late with an answer, I must have gotten distracted with fall cleanup. Sorry! But the other 'cure' for a sting that I remember was a wet tea bag over the spot and in some cases later I've used meat tenderizer sprinkled on wet skin. Can't remember if I mentioned that earlier.
More recently I often use a slice of aloe, my houseplant that I keep in my kitchen. And that's about it for me. Whatever works at the moment. I think vinegar is about as good as anything else.
Happy Holidays! At the moment I'm caught in the middle of an ice/snow storm. It's going to be awhile before I can dig my way out, it seems. At least I can safely say there are no flying stingers out to bother me right now.
