Hate Wasp

Getting everything setup this morning for the party. Finish the large tent in the back when out of nowhere I got stung by two large wasp, one on the nipple and the other on the arm pit.

Let me tell you, plain and simple, getting stung on the nipple SUCKS. These were big wasp to, I've been stung plenty of times before but those two packed a wallop . Might have been mud dobbers? Bastards

I am very proactive in spraying all eves and undelying areas monthly around the house (including bushes), as these wasps/hornets in Florida are quite aggressive. Be careful as they can make you quite sick in some cases ....

I'm still suprised, I mean I've been stung before and it's kinda like "ow little sh!t", but these two, wow, they really packed a punch. And they seemed quite larger then normal wasp, which is why I thought it would have been a mud dobber but apparently those rarely sting even when aggravated but heard if they do it hurts like hell.

Just be glad we don't have the Giant Japanese Hornets here, now that is a bug you do not want to get stung by.

Ah so you saw them. They must have replayed it, tell me that wasn't nutz. I watched it over a year ago, I remember they were doing interviews with people who had been stung by them (those that survived since one can kill a man), one had been shot before and said the sting was more painful then being shot.

If I saw a Japanese Giant Hornet I'd run screaming like a girl lol.

Surfer..you may have to get a padded Bra the next time...sorta like Body Armour...but take a picture wearing it..lol....

I was weed wacking once and hit a yellow jacket nest underground..I got stung about 30 times...they were all over me like a new suit...I grabbed the hose and started to spray myself off..to get them off..and ran..my nieghbor is a nurse..she gave me a shot and some benedryl and made me stay there for awhile to make sure no reactions to the stings...my face looked like the elephant man...and my arse was sore....and back ....now I walk the areas where i am going to weed wack and look for them flying into a hole..and spray them..
