Scorpions and spiders? Meh. Hornets and earwigs? Annoying. I'm so used to all of these.

Ugh, i'd rather get a wasp sting then a bee sting. Probably on account that wasps are mean, and that i also love bees.

I've never been stung before...

Really?! Wasps would've had me crippled for a few days, I reckon

The bee, thankfully, was in the pool so I hadn't yet stepped all the way down - the water helped buoy my foot up, and it meant the poison sac didn't burst. Someone was able to help me pull it off with the sting

Zinnia: You lucky... bee

Nah! jus a tiny bit of swelling, itching and a little pain at first..... Rubbing sugar on a wasp sting will mostly neutralize the poison and then a couple of drops of P73 oregano oil will help with the quick healing. I should know, i've been stung at least a half a dozen different times by wasps.

Thats just about the only thing i hate about bees... They leave their poison sacs there.

I just wish the bees and even the wasps would come back

.... i can't remember the last time i've seen a honeybee... even if i did it would be probably a couple of years ago.

Ich habe zuruckgekommt....
Yes, I have finished one of the replies!

My head is spinning. Three more to go

You seem to know a lot about all these natural cures. I guess it comes from living in the country, you gotta fend for yourself, huh? I heard something about dock leaves on nettle stings will neutralise the acid... gee, I used to be a chemistry nerd. I hate chemistry now

Do wasps not leave poison sacs then? Where does their poison come from?

We get a lot of honeybees around the place. You'll see them on the flowers in spring, but most of the rest of the year it's blowflies. Blowflies without end, I want to smack their little multiple-lens eyes!!

As of this month, no. Why?
