I got stung by a swarm of midget bumblebees, the kind that live in the
ground, when I was 3 or 4. I had a red belt of sting welts all the way
around my middle! I remember my mother plastering me with some mud
standing nearby.

I would think that most any kind of plaster would help draw the poison
out as it dried. It certainly seems that way from the responses so far.
If you need a quick response, grab the mud. If you have time, go get the
other stuff. Or do both and the heck with your appearance!
