Current Events > Woke up to a bee sting this morning. What a great way to start the day. -_-

(+) Yeah! (+)

So my alarm goes off and I roll over to hit the snooze button. When I roll back, I feel a sharp pinch on my back just below my left shoulder blade. At first I'm thinking it's just another pine needle. There's a window right next to my bed with a huge pine tree just outside, and every once in a while when it's windy a branch will get pushed up against the window screen and a needle or two will snag and poke through and fall into my bed. Not a huge deal. So I just lean forward and reach back to brush it away, but what I felt was definitely NOT a pine needle.

I slapped the spot on my back and kinda scrape at it, and when I look into my hand I see what's left of a mangled bee. Given my phobia of bees and wasps I instantly jump out of bed, fling the dead bee into a corner, and start panic searching around my room because my brain instantly just assumes there must be a hive hidden somewhere. Took me about 10 minutes to calm down and realize it was literally just a single random bee.

Good thing I'm not allergic to bee stings. But it's in just the worst possible spot. Hard to reach or scratch at it, and just below my shoulder blade so it gets agitated basically every time I move my left arm. It's been driving me crazy for hours. >_<

Seriously. I literally was picturing a bee hive somehow like dug into my mattress and that I'd somehow been sleeping on top of a massive swarm for weeks. It was horrifying.

Completely irrational, obviously, but horrifying.

that's actually not true, bees only lose their stingers and die because the barbs make the stinger take too long to twist out before the overreacting human kills it

f***ing underground hives lol

I'm pretty sure this is where my phobia comes from. We had wild blackberry bushes that grew in our back yard when I was growing up. Once, when I was like 6 or 7, I was out back picking blackberries with my mom and brother and I stepped on a yellowjacket hive. I just remember suddenly feeling a searing pain, looking down, and seeing dozens of yellowjackets swarming out of a hole and stinging my left ankle. It remains the most intense pain I've ever felt in my life.

To this day I get chills any time I so much as see a picture of a bee.

I was 6! It was black and yellow, attacked in a swarm, and stung like hell. That's all I needed to know.
