I need your Sympathy

My mates Dad got stung on the leg, right on the femoral artery. Kaboom! Heart attack about 2 minutes later. He survived and was fine, but was pretty narked about it.

Crikey

Slightly less funny. I've had a bit of a reaction but not at the sting site. Very large swelling just below the throat on the upper chest. Sting site was on the right side of my neck. So the poison was heading for my ticker.

Spoke to a pharmacist who reassured me

More sympathy please

More sympathy?

You were only stung on your neck. There's worse places than that he could have gone for, and got.

Blimey, Lance O'Classic is right. If he'd stung you on the undercarriage your plums would have swelled up. They may have ended up almost as big as mine.

Once had a wasp fly into my cycling jersey on a warm day where it stung me repeatedly. I would have wept with the pain but I am made of sterner stuff so I affected an angry scowl and pedalled furiously with one hand on the bar and the other clutching the affected area. It's possible that I may have texted "woe is me, i am undone, avenge me" at some point but it's all a bit of a blur to be honest

Getting treated was a nightmare. Stung on the backside at the same time.

Couldn't tell what was plum and what was bum......

Did you slow down when you saw the wasp or just accelerate whilst sounding your horn?
