I usually steer her away from the Wasp or Bee and deal with it myself as
they don't affect me.

Don't be too complacent Mike - even one sting from either a bee or wasp can
bring on anaphylaxis even if you'ven never had it when previously stung.



Bill

Thanks for the warning Bill. With the concoction of medication I am
on now after my Quadruple Heat By-Pass, anything could happen ;-)

Sorry to hear that. Nasty little b'gers, you may remember that last year I
ran over a wasp nest that was in the ground whilst mowing the allotment
road, they chased me the length of the site stinging me the whole time.
Luckily I am not allergic.

Unfortunately, the next time (hopefully never) you get stung by a wasp/bee
you may still suffer anaphylactic shock.

Fingers crossed eh?

Bill


On the other hand you almost certainly wont

I got done over by bees many years ago, my own fault, I was using a
tractor Rotavator and rotovated across the front of 3 hives, they
took exception.
Wasps, I would have been dead in less than 10 mins with the number
of stings I had.
David @ a colder but rain free side of Swansea Bay.


Lucky me then. I have a bit of an escape.I just dont know why they
picked on me. and i feel a bit sick as well

You probably feel as if you have had a kicking.
If you have any antihistamine tablets (Hay fever/travel sickness
tablets then take a dose, it could still help.


Antihistamine is what my doctor gave me.
I feel much better now.
I thought I was going to die.
I still feel weak.

I can't decided if that would be my most scary moment or not.

Currently that is held by being sat on the bare earth in a temporary
air raid shelter made out of sand filled oil drums with 1" gaps
between them dressed in shorts and T shirt surounded by RAF ground
crew who had every scrap of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical suit on
that they had. You could see the fear in *their* eyes through the
full face masks...

This was out in Bahrian just before Gulf War I kicked off and Mr
Hussain was "test firing" missiles the direction and payload
(explosive/chemical) wasn't known.


OK, Dave, I would imagine that as being more scary. As scary can be.

Yes, I still feel nauseuos and green around the gills. I can't keep my food
down, what little I can eat.
Soon be over it.

Previous to that was going up into the loft for something about this
time of year. Moving about looking for something I became aware of a
strange papery, scratchy, buzzy noise behind me. Turned round and
shone the torch in the direction of the noise. This illuminated a
huge wasps nest and I mean huge, not a football hanging from a rafter
but something about 3' wide filling the 18" gap from the rafters to
ceiling joists. The occupants seemed to be getting a little
distressed by my bumping about, there was a number crawling about the
outside and few taking off straight at me. I beat a very hasty
retreat and shut the hatch.

I think the Bahrain event does have the edge, that certainly gave me
a different perspective on life. The wasps nest still made it's mark
though, I now look around in lofts before going thumping about and
even then any little scratchy noises within the first few minutes
makes the heart beat a little faster...

You need to talk to your doc about an Epipen. When my bees went for
me, I woke in the night feeling as if I had the worst case of flu known
to man. One eye was swollen shut the other I could only open to a
minute amount. That was around 16 stings and that's a load of venom. I
don't get used to bee stings, I get worse. You do need to check this
very carefully. Wasps seem more aggressive than bees, ime and imo and I
will avoid them at all costs!

I remember when I was working in Cardiff seeing some B..... Fool on a
ladder removing the fascia boarding above the bedroom window to get at
a wasps nest.
No protective clothing or anything.
It was his wife standing at the bottom of the ladder who said what he
was doing, I just kept on walking, but faster.
And before anyone says anything , Yes it was a 2 story house.

Well, early this morning my left eye was itching like mad when I was in
bed, and I felt soooo ill as well. I got up to go to the bathroom to
spash a bit of water on it and when I looked in the mirror the right side
of my face had dropped I thought my god ive had a stroke. I woke Reykha
and she dialed 999. Bells pausly the doctor said,after hours of tests I
never heard of it. Not a stroke. It might take a while to get back to
normal.
I had a similar amount of sting but all close together some up my nose.
hat makes my left eye itch seemmingly. I have had drops in that eye and
it feels better. Quite close to shut that eye, soa i know what you mean.

Well! Well! Diamonds :-)

Fancy seeing you here. Hope you are well these days.

Sorry for the "in" remarks, Diamonds is an old friend from another NG.

All I can say is the name Diamonds has an hysterical origin born in
Betws -y-Coed on a fishing holiday.
