I've found heat application to be an effective method of dealing with insect bites and stings. Truth be told a spoon doesn't work the best, though. I have a tobacco pipe stamper that has a thick piece of metal with a small surface area, allowing you to deliver heat evenly to the bite.
The thinking is that the venom in the insects bite or sting breaks down at a relatively low heat. The trade off is finding something hot enough that doesn't burn you. I think its a pretty fine line.
