I saw you on and bumped this thread by then you had responded to your back in 24 or 48. Glad to see you are better. My old man owned a pest control business most of the time I was growing up. I made the mistake of going to work for him after High School. Talk about a hard@ss. Anyway I went out on a Bee job with him one time in 78. Back then it was sqirt them bastards down with all the Chloredane you could. Standing in a room with bee's so thick at arms length you couldn't see your hand freaked me out. With NO SUIT on either just a uniform. Dad said just don't move fast and they won't sting you. About that time one flew up his pant leg and stung him on the knee. Heck we looked like 2 of the 3 stooges trying to get out of that building! :lol: :lol:

It's all fun and games until you start to swell and itch.

And the throat was about the only area NOT affected.

The itch is enough to want to make you do something stupid.
Thank god it's over..

Good friend of mine, highly allergic, jumped off a fifteen foot high horizontal LPG tank we were spray painting because of one wasp.
Lucky he did not break his damn neck.

When I was a kid I did work-overs on the old 90 foot standard ( steel structure) oil derricks that stood along the Sabine River.
Old dude I worked with named Richard would walk up under the derricks ( on the steel substructure, above the river mind you ) and pick these huge red wasp & yellow jacket nest off by hand and throw them in the river.

I asked him once "don't you get stung" he shrugged his shoulders and said "yeah" . :shock:

Glad your better. Anaphylactic shock can be a killer.
