I was able to avoid getting stung for 39 years

[Chew]

So i had a red wasp get all up in my grill recently. I was wearing a full 3 gallon backpack sprayer and i had the sprayer hose/wand in my hand. I was trying to emmett smith him and couldnt get away. I squealed like a little striped bacon bit and swung the sprayer nozzle at it. I swung so hard the attachment snapped in half. Like a good neighbor, my Tractor Supply cap magically appeared in ny hand and swatted him away as his stinger approached the southwest quadrant of my face (would have been around F 10 if we were playing Battleship). Like my dear Granny Minchew used to say, f%$÷ a bunch of wasps.

I've been hit 15-20x and usually just turns red and itches a day or 2. Got hit near my calf muscle by a red wasp opening gate Saturday and my whole dang lower leg and foot ended up swelling up! Had to go to doc this am to get some medicine, could barely get my shoe on. Be careful out there!

I got popped this year once. TUCO got smoked in August last year by 6 or 7.

Have a friend that got hit by bees 2 months ago. They pulled over 100 stingers out of his HEAD alone.

Game over, man. Game over.

I got stuck in the little "hospital" in Hondo getting stingers out of my buddy. The nurse showed me how to do it using a credit card and she just walked out. I told that fool not to be pushing stumps around tanks out in that area.

I was clearing brush with an axe and out of nowhere two yellow jackets popped me simultaneously, one right under the brim of my hat and one on the ear.. The one on the forehead hurt the worst.. I got sweet revenge on them though so it eased the pain a bit, lol

I used to get stung hundreds of times a year when I worked for the phone company. When you would open up old terminals up on the poles, they would just fall out all over you. No place to go but down so you pretty much just had to stand there and take it.

Yep. Granny's snuff would take the sting right out.

Lol, works!

I backed off a ladder when I swung the door open on one of my stands a few years ago, (wasp) forgot how far off the ground I was. I remembered real quick after that sudden stop.

I got stung by something over July 4th weekend. Was shredding on tractor and must of hit a swarm. Only one on my back and hand. I had long clothes on luckily. Hand swelled up. That shut me down for an afternoon.

[Dusty Britches]

Chew, you are making me laugh - because I feel like I've been there!

[systemnt]

Had 13 stings in one shot last weekend... and 2 more the following day ...working on the travel trailer..
chiweenie dog got popped once running away as well..
yellow jackets are bad this year...

You did well to dodge them all these yesrs

As a kid it happened occasionally.
Sure makes you wary for a while, but then you get careless
My farm is covered with red wasps. My Goliad deer lease was full of yellow jacket swarms last year l, but they were docile. Never got popped

The one thing I was always able to find as a kid was ants. I'm still a pro at finding and getting stung by them. I HATE fire ants!

TUCO got smoked in August last year by 6 or 7.

I was securing a trail cam to the downspout of a feed barrel, and couldn’t see the big wasp nest on the underneath side of the barrel.

The back of my hand passed about an inch under a nest of about 100 wasps.

I got hit 7 times on the back of my hand despite my ninja like reflexes, which included an NFL caliber backpedaling demonstration, followed closely by an impressive backflip dismount.

Fark that.
