When I was young, a wasp stung my butt, and I couldn't sit for three days. Now I do still remember how painful and embarrassing it was.
Sorry dude, I feel your pain,
butt the image I have in my head is too funny
I know, I know, I am a bad person (slap my own wrist)
btw yes, I was stung, too, quite a number of times by bees and the smaller, European version of Yellow jackets.
boy, they might be smaller
butt (
) their sting is dizzyingly painful, I felt like throwing up while almost passing up from the pain (that just me)
I am also allergic to all insect bites mosquito, mites whatever including,
but not to the point of getting anaphylactic shock, not yet at least, I hope.
I think last time I was stung by a bee or wasp- this kind:
was sometime in mid 2000, in my backyard garden as I missed their nest in the bushes and disturbed it while weeding underneath.
While working vigorously, I inadvertently shook the branches above which in turn must have caused vibration to the nest well hidden inside the bush,
as suddenly something hit me hard in my temple and at once I felt pin like burning, spreading pain.
Then some furious black and white bullets started whizzing to and fro by me,
I immediately realized it's looking to attack so I darted back to the house, adrenaline making me jump high like a jack rabbit on speed lololol
I wasn't stung anymore, and I realised I was
really lucky
b/c the pain quickly abated,
so I must have mean only lightly "marked" - stung to let the other bees know *what/whom* to attack,
(when threatened, the wasp and/or bees stung merely to leave the pheromone scent for their soldiers to find the victim).
btw these white and black wasps aren't vicious at all, they have good memory.
they know who you are so if they see you again they'll leave you alone,
unless you bother them - then they'll not.
they are beneficial, very - they kept my flowers clean of pests since early summer until fall.
