If you have reactions like this, you're going to be miserable for a day, then uncomfortable for a few days. But I've had some wasp stings that weren't that bad...not sure what the difference is. Still, I don't freak out when they come near me. That just makes them more likely to sting you. --- I am the Cheese! I am the best character on the show!

Taharqa_ 05/15/19 9:45:48 AM #39:	You know what scares the shit out of me? Water bugs I had no idea those things could fly, they hang around light posts at night. One flew on my neck when I was a kid, I thought it was a cockroach and tried to swat it off. It immediately bit into my neck and it felt like a cold ice pick was jammed into me. They bite hard as fuck and there isn't that much skin layer on your neck to begin with.

The_Scarecrow 05/15/19 9:50:05 AM #41:	I was on my deck and I opened up the patio umbrella. Turns out there was a wasp nest under it. You bet I ran like hell when they all started coming out.
