Anytime I see their convoys headed to a fire I give them thumbs up out the car window. Bad ass MOFO's. I've been inside a burning house, 15 minutes of air didn't last me long.

They stung my right ankle and calf 3 times before I realized what was happening. It is very sore. Swollen. And hot. Yellow jackets love me. I venture to guess I've been stung by them 50-100 times. The dangers of working outdoors.

Only thing I've experienced that was worse than yellow jackets are the mean freaking black and white suckers that form the huge paper like gray nests. Paper wasp?

Wow! How are you doing? Thankfully your not allergic . Does ice work to help the swelling?

We call them bald-faced or white faced hornets out here, if we're talking bout the same. Just last year for the first time, had one crash through my window while driving. Hit off my hat, down the back of my shirt and tag me 3 times on the back before I could pull over. Almost crashed into a guard rail from swerving from the 1st sting. It was inches. Will never forget that lol. And certainly never open my windows that far ever again.

Thanks for caring. I'm OK. Tonight and tomorrow are going to be worse. I can already feel the itching start. Then tomorrow the whole leg will be sore and itchy at the same time. Last time one of the stings got infected and took weeks to go away. I might still have a permanent scar. Let me look lol.

We have paper wasps here. Had my window down and one hit my sunglasses and landed next to my eye and stung me. The Mrs had to drive home because my face swelled to the point I couldn't see.

Ouch!! Does Benadryl help? I have been stung many times too, and those ground bees seem the worst!
I had an allergic reaction only once. I think because so many got me, little swaet bees we call them, in the woods while moving a dead log....When I woke up the next morning my arm was about double it's normal size, and I went right to the ER, where they gave me a shot and some pills.
I hope you feel better soon!!

Got digger wasps out here too. Shitloads of them paper wasps though. These wasps don’t even scare me. Yellow jackets do. Fucks me up bad getting stung by yellow jackets nowadays.

Did you do a Rocky impersonation?
I was tagged by the bald faced hornets 3 times in the chest.
I did not bother to smack the shit out of that nest for a 4th time.

We had "Boonie bees" on Guam, if you pissed them off the whole swarm would come after you.

I stepped into yellowjacket nests twice as a kid. It really sucked. Benadryl is your friend.
