So I was trying to take the tarp off of my jon boat yesterday afternoon so I could lay it down in my trailer to get a load of mulch. Forgot I had a bungee cord on the backside of it and went to unhook it when a red wasp came out and popped me on the side of my middle finger on the right hand. I haven't been stung by anything since I was a kid and dang I forgot how much those little fellas hurt.

So when is the last time you got stung by a bee, wasp, yellow jacket, etc.??

Those motherfrickers hurt like hell.

Had to kill a hornets nest this week in a front yard bush.

A few years ago on my lip. One flew into my beer and when I took a sip, it got in my mouth, and in the process of spitting it out, it stung me. Lip swole up like a balloon for a day or two.

That is one thing we never came across as kids. I've heard a hornet hurts pretty bad.

Just got tagged by 5 wasps about a week ago. The thing I found weird was that they were all within an inch or 2 circle. Why not 1 on the arm, 1 on the leg or whatever?

A guy that I work with and I do some grass cutting after we get off here and we were cleaning up a townhouse back yard for a guy and he got stung by 3 while trimming hedges and they were the same way. I was like a perfect line in about a 2-3 inch area on his side.

Actually it wasn't as bad as some others I've had. Fingers always seemed to be the worst place for some reason.

Got stung by hornet on my ankle a few weeks ago while I was cutting the grass. It swelled up a good bit, but I'm not as allergic as some people are so it wasn't too bad.

About 3 weeks ago I was pulling something out from under a shed, I do a lot of banging & knocking on things just In case a snake has decided to make itself at home, & a felt a burning on the back of my leg but didn't pay too much attention to it at first. After about a minute, my leg was burning like fire & I realized I had disturbed, with all my snake banging & knocking, a small red wasp nest. I hadn't been stung in probably about 15 years & that shite hurts! So now, along with banging & knocking, I carry wasp spray.

Got stung by 3 yellow jackets on July 4th. Hurt like hell but luckily I jumped in the pool before the whole nest tore my arse up.

That's why even when I quit dipping I kept a can around. I know it sounds nasty as hell, but wet some dip and put it on a wasp/bee sting and the pain is gone instantly.

Wasps are my eternal nemesis. Few things will make me jump and run the frick away faster than a wasp flying in my face.

That said, it has been at least 5+ years since I've been stung.

I hate the frick out of them, I was pretty close to wrecking one day because one of the frick heads flew into my jeep. It was the most terrifying ride ever until it flew out.

You can't even tell today except for a small red place that looks like a fire ant bite in size. It started swelling but I had mulch to put out so I just went on and did what I had to. I guess doing all that helped it not swell much.
