out of commission from a wasp sting

When are all the little spiders gonna hatch? Wasn't that the story of the lady with the bump on her face?

The yellow jackets have been more agressive lately apparently... got stung again last night, this time in a more annoying location, on the inside of my right bicep... I went YEARS without being stung now it's two within the same month...

Yellow jackets are the worst. Only ones I encounter that sting you for just being somewhat near their underground nests.
They also freeload on my apples and pears while they are still on the trees.
At least with paper wasps and bald faced hornets, they do not attack you unless you either touch them their nest or get within a foot or so of their nest.
The only good yellow jacket is a dead yellow jacket.

Contact your Dr to see if you need an Epi pen. Reactions can get worse the more you are stung and as you age.
I'm a 21 year EMT/ff. Stuck several people with epi for allergic reaction.

Its more contemplated that your reactions simply changing with ones age. Its also a volume thing, that is if you get strung enough, you got into shock and die. We get stung every summer while working in the woods and commonly there no cell service, so we now carry benadryl and epi pens in our kits. We are not allergic to any stings, but if someone gets stung enough, you still die.

Yep, I am allergic in that I react the most to yellow jacket stings and swell up to heck but location dependent I just deal with it... The first time in a LONG time (15 or so years I think) I was stung by a yellow jacket it was right above the left eye, I was leaf blowing and apparently got to above their nest, several of them dive bombed me and one got me... Anywho, a trip to the hospital and $550 later I was basically told to keep an eye on it and take benedryl, and given a prescription for steroids. My wife is around most of the time I'm doing goofy things so I use some Sting Kill and Benedryl and it works out...

On a positive note, I found the nest that the bastage was protecting, I was 10' from it when I got stung, it was 10" diameter and under a half wine barrel by the front porch... the nest is dead and received around 2 cans of spray...

This has worked for us and you do it your own risk. I use to do a lot of custom bush hogging and was always stirring up hornets , yellow jackets and wasps.
As soon as I got stung, immediately get off the tractor (after getting away from the nests) I would find a small stick and stick it down in my gas tank and dab it with gasoline. ( I know someone is going to ask high test or regular) This has always minimize the sting and pain, and swelling.
Finally went to a diesel tractor and just always carried a very small bottle of gas. We keep a bottle handy out in the garage in case one of the grand kids get stung. Got stung by a hornet while riding my motorcycle right between the eyes, stopped and found a stick and stuck it in my gas tank and dabbed it on the spot. Pain went away right but left a knot in the middle of my head for over a month.
