Stung by a BEE

[RCT]

well I survived the bike ride...which was really fun...found a great bike trail not too far from us...had a nice ride...dh and I took turns going slow with dd, and fast with ds....got to our truck...layed out the blanket...ds and dh went off...dd and I lay down...BANG...the back of my hand hits the grass...and OCH!!!! such pain...ok, I know what a baby...but I had never been stung before...anyway I see this little thorny thing in my hand...pull it out...sucking my hand with tears streaming down my face....look behind me and there in the grass lay the bee....man....I still can't believe I got nailed....now the back of my hand is sore to touch...but....I am 36 years old....never knew it was that awful.....

A "sting" really does STING, doesn't it??? Bummer, Renee! I know how you feel! I got stung once (while trying to be a hero and kill a bee that was buzzing around the classroom!). I actually had to excuse myself and go out into the hallway....I was very much on the verge of tears!!!!!! Did you put anything on it?? Any reaction??

Ouch! Sorry your day ended on such a sour note! Hope it feels better tomorrow.
(meat tenderizer takes the 'sting' out, I think..... if not, a paste of water and baking soda???) Haven't run into too many bees myself.......

No it didn't sting...it really hurt....:( Darn Bee... (stomp foot, hands on hips)

I hope it feels better soon. I've been stung by a wasp before and it was all I could do to not cry. (I was at someone's front door selling something for a school fundraiser. I got stung just as they answered the door8o )

My Grandpa found a nest of bees or wasps (don't remember which it was). If I remember the story right he got stung all over. They pulled them out of his pockets. After that he was severely allergic to them. (Like I said I don't know if I'm remembering the story exactly. That was a long time ago.)

Ouch!!! :\ 8o :\ Sorry your good time had to end the way it did... bummer! I remember when I was about 10 years old I kicked an old rusty looking can that was laying back by the woods. I swear 30 bee's came flying out of that darn can and I ran screaming like a crazy person. I think I got stung about 3 times that time... and I was the biggest baby. LOL When I was older... I stepped on one while I was barefoot. :\ Yikes!!! I hope it feels better when you wake up in the morning!!! :)

Diane... :wave:

Ouch Renee. Sorry to hear that you ended your day like this :\

I have been stung a couple of times (once on my chest...ouch 8o ) . It really "stings". As long as it doesn't swell up it should be much better today.

Renee, I am sorry that you got stung. I hope you feel better soon!
