Damn, I just pushed my lawn mower over a wasps nest. Ouch

[kohodog]

About 15 stings. Damn that hurts. Tons of the little fuckers. Ow.

1. Take a benadryl now just in case if you have it

[kohodog]

3. Just took one. Now I'll probably nap all afternoon

And this was becoming a really productive day.

4. the ground nesting ones are yellow-jackets....

Aggressive and territorial as hell. Ouch!

[kohodog]

5. Thats what I thought. But as I was swatting them off

a wasp definately had joined the fun.

6. I didn't mean to imply otherwise-- YJs *are* wasps...

...in the wasp family Vespidae.

7. did the same thing

with yellowjackets a couple of weeks ago. I feel your pain, truly.

8. I did too.

Luckily I got myself to the hospital. They said if you're stung enough times it can really constrict your airway. Benadryl and inhalers worked for me.

9. You have something to mow?

Damn, you're lucky to be mowing anything at all this summer, even if it's WASPS. Their polo shirts must really bunch up in your mower blades, though.

Hey-Hey! My first DU post! Pop a cork!
