I was opening the refrigirator door, it was on the handle.

I've never been stung before what do I do?

First, reply to this thread.

Second.. If you see a stinger, remove it. Take some tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain. If it's itchy, take some benadryl.

I've been stung by Yellow Jackets and Bumble Bees - they sting. Ever been bitten by a spider? That hurts.

Yellow Jackets suck. I don't know if everyone is the same, but I got stung by one and I felt fine. I didn't even know if I got stung or not. Then after like 30 minutes, it swelled up a hurt like a mofo. Little sucker had me all happy saying "Oh yeah, I'm invincible" then the pain... :)

I'm sorry to say but, you only have 4 hours to live after you've been stung...make your time.

when i was younger a friend of mine had honey suckle flowers all over his back fence. they were always filled with bees. we used to wait until one went inside the flower then trap it in a test tube and have fun with it. *sigh* good times...

Ah, brown recluse. Lovely little bastards, aren't they? Their poison attacks and atrophies muscle tissue, and can easily cause death by infection if not treated. This dumb bitch should spend less time making a journal online and more time getting to the f***ing hospital.

lol, I think the journal is about a year old. It took 6 months for it to heal.. :Q

Sorry guys, I didn't think about putting a warning up. Silly me.

So, yeah.. Don't click on the "indeed" link, unless you want to squirm. :p
