Just got stung by a wasp

[olds]

Sucker flew out of a nook in my gate as I was closing it. I am taking Coors, orally. Anything else I should do? Oh, ya. I already sprayed the nest.

[pyonir]

you should run around your yard flalling your arms yelling: "Bees!!!!! BEES!!!!! they're everywhere!!!!!!!!!! get'em off!!!!!!!!! bees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Do their stingers come out? I am "batchin" it this weekend and no one is here. It's in the back of my neck.

I tried that. The cops pulled up, saw me and left, real quick.

hehe, yeah the stinger usually comes out when they sting...it is important to get it out.

I thought it was only bees who left their stinger in? Not wasps (probably wrong).

Yeh wasps don't always lose their stinger. That's why they're so good at stinging you more than once

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

If you are in pain, apply a little wad of tobacco (wet it down with water or beer) to the sting area. sucks the pain right out!

Don't pull or squeeze the stinger. It contains venom, and you'll end up re-stinging yourself. (This applies to bees only; yellow jackets, wasps and hornets don't lose their stingers.)

As I was walking, an insect (didn't see what it was) got lodged between my left foot and sandal. It got crushed, but it managed to sting. Damn, it hurt! I could see 1-mm reddish mark on the bottom of my foot. I have been applying cortizone cream on it. The stung area is still a little bit swollen and itchy.

For your sake, I hope you aren't a minority.

I kill wasp nests at work all the time (golf course guy). I go out in nothing less than boots, gloves, full raingear, and a welding mask. There's no way they can get me. A bunch of other people have been stung trying to take out the nests; this one guy got stung just above his eye, and he looked like quasimodo for 3 days.

There was no stinger, just some swelling and redness. I took an antihistamine and ate some pizza.

I said wasp, not WASP.
