What's your bee sting record?

Recommended Posts

I was 8 years old, just playing with a stick in the yard at home. I noticed Yellow Jackets swarming in and out of a hole in the ground. Stupidly, I poked the hole with the stick. Then, not without warning, the little bastards swarmed me and started the full blown assault with stingers. I ran screaming to the back door and in the house with the buggers in close pursuit. In no time my mom and dad were on me whacking me all over trying to kill the yellow jackets. After the dust had settled, final tally:

Me: 35 stings
Mom: 5 stings
Dad: 2 stings

Thankfully none of us were allergic, but boy I had calamine lotion slathered all over. And no, no visit to the ER or clinic needed.

Ouch:o!!! That sucks!

I got stung a bunch, can't remember exactly how many times off hand but, I think 7 right before I was suppose to make a jump at the all of the above boogie 2 years ago. I still jumped but, was sure uncomfortable under canopy[:/] I also got stung on the bottom of my foot a few months ago at Skydance, again right before I was going to jump. I decided to sit that one out. A few weeks ago I got bit my a nasty spider on both feet(once again right before I was going to jump) witch ended in a ER visit and some really nasty swollen black and blue feet! I guess the bugs really don't want me to skydiveB|:D

A few times . . .

The worst was playing Little League baseball when I was twelve. I was in center field and heckling the batter to screw up when a bee flew right into my mouth. I couldn't get him in the right position to spit out so I tried to kill it by biting into him. I got him, but not before he stung me good in the gum. The next few days were very bad.

I kept my mouth shut in the outfield from then on . . .

Pinch the end off of a cigarette...about 1/2 an inch or so, then wet it with your spit and place it on the sting. The pain and poison are gone in a flash.
I haven't used this method since the late 80's, but it might be hard to find a smoker when you need one these days. :o

My brother is deathly allergic to bee stings. Those fuckers are nothing to screw with.B|

With that said, I think I have been stung at least once by every kind of bee out there...except killer bees. I'm not allergic like my brother. The absolute worse were yellow jackets!>:( I was stung 4 times at once and man did that hurt like hell. Wasps, hornets and bumble bees have nothing on those little bastards.

Quite some time ago, when I was a wee little girl, my father was mowing the lawn one hot afternoon on his trusty ol' riding mower. My mother and I were in the kitchen making dinner when I hear the mower turn off, even though I KNEW he couldn't be done with the lawn. I look up and my father is running full-speed to the house, flailing around trying to take his shirt off. I went outside to see what the problem was when I realized... The outcome was not going to be good... He had aggravated a nest of yellow jackets, and they swarmed around him. When he finally got his shirt off, it was literally being lifted off the ground from the amount of those little bastards stuck inside of it. We got him inside and sat him down.. He said he was fine even though we KNEW he was stung numerous times and seemed to be uncomfortable. When he passed up my mother's infamous spaghetti dinner (his favorite), my mother decided to take him to the hospital. 51 stings later, he comes home in quite a bit of pain. Thankfully, he wasn't allergic or I'd be having to mow my parent's lawn from now on. :|

And I only had 4 yellow jacket stings. I can't imagine 35.B| They hurt like a bitch.

Maybe Peter would like to experiment with yellow jacket stings since he seems to be into that kind of shit.:ph34r:



Wouldn't the video of him flailing and screaming like a banshee be priceless? :D

I think these were yellow jackets. Was cutting a lawn and went near a stump full of them. Eyes got big then so did the rest of my body. I pulled a few stingers out with huge sacs attached to them.

Feeling somewhat better after 4 hours since it happened. Yea that sucked.:D

Yes, priceless!:D I think though that Peter would find a way to put a price on it and then market it to make his next million.:D

I'm no nature expert, but I do believe that when you have multiple stings, they generally come from yellow jackets.

Listen to Dr. Karen. If this was your first time stung and you swelled up like you described, you could be deathly allergic. It's usually the 2nd time you are stung that you run the risk of anephelectic shock.[:/]

Not a problem - EPI shots are good fun, it's like the DT's without the pain - oh and then the rush of bene makes for a good mellow - you also get to suck on some O2, AND have HOT men touching you!!! GOOD FUN I tell ya!!!!

Cocheese, this is what I know. If you swell only in the area of the actual bee sting, that is localized swelling and usually nothing to worry about. When you swell all over your body, this could be dangerous and nothing to fool around with. I would check with your doctor. He may recommend you have an Epinephrine Pen on hand. If this is the case, the next time you're stung; you immediately give yourself this shot and then get yourself to an ER.

Nothing to fool around with buddy.

That's gotta be the funniest thing I've heard all day.

In North Carolina we hiked to a waterfall 4 miles away from any signs of human life. Just as we got there (after descending a long nearly vertical cliff), I stepped on a yellow jacket nest barefoot. I had a whole swarm chasing me and had to jump into a tiny still pool of water that just happened to be just upstream of a pretty hardcore rapid section. I did a coffin dive feetfirst into the pool and let myself sink to the bottom. When I came out there were over a dozen drowned yellowjackets with their stingers stuck in my t-shirt. I had about 7 stings and my girflriend was freaking out thinking I was gonna have some sort of reaction and die out there. I don't know if I'd ever been stung by one of these before, but fortunately I didn't have a very bad reaction at all... they didn't even hurt that bad and were gone in 2 days.
