I was able to avoid getting stung for 39 years

High centered a four wheeler on an old log as a teenager. Unbeknownst to me, this log was also home to a not so happy family of ground hornets. 18 stings later and a sprint to my cousins four wheeler got us out of there. We drove a little ways and stopped and just looked at the wheeler with no doubt a dumbfounded expression on our face of "now what?"

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.

Hahahah...... I actually LOL'd.

I found the culprit of the face attack. Turns out it's red wasps. I will be mounting my counter attack tomorrow now that I've found them!

Got hit in the leg at 6 o'clock Saturday morning by a scorpion... twice. So far I've avoided wasps this year.

Jinxed myself 2 weeks ago when I told my wife "I've never been stung by a red wasp." Well last week I was mowing and one nailed me on the ear. But, a weedeater does a job on their nest and is a good wasp swatter too.

It took me about 35 years before one I stepped on one morning

stung by wasp, no, but I've got scars from where I escaped from being stung

now, yellow jackets, yup...they got me when I use to cut wood with my dad...those ground nests are the devil

Last year dove hunting my son told me to be carful because there was a wasp flying around my coke can. I tipped it towards the sun, and didn't see any thing, couple swallows later I thought I felt some thing go down, then felt a little pain in my throat. Luckily were we leaving that morning and by the time we got home I had the worst sore throat. Luckily it must not have swelled. But I thought any minute I was not going to be able to breath. I have been stung quite a few times, but this one scared me.

Man I'm telling you...soap and water works great. I mixed a batch of Dawn soap and water in a sprayer. Went around my house and the neighbors on either side killing all of the paper wasps I could find. You need to get a direct hit but it kills them DRT. They just curl up and fall to the ground. A beautiful sight to see.

I got popped several times in the back on my beltline by yellow jackets, when I sat down in a tripod stand opening morning 2006 or so in Uvalde. We had a "Phantom Hunter" made of old coveralls stuffed with corn sacks and placed in the seat to get the deer used to a human shape being up there (that was our strategy, anyway). In the dark I didn't see the wasps fall out of the "Phantom" when I lifted it over the side in order to sit down.

Evidently, I made a bit too much noise after getting hit and then clearing them all away, never saw anything that morning. There were about 20 wasps in the mesquite bushes under the stand where they fell out of the "Phantom" on the way down.

I know - cool story, bro.............

I'm going to get a super soaker and fill it with soap and water and see what happens, this year it seems the wasps are worse than ever, every week I buy 2-3 bottles of raid and the next week they come back stronger, so this time I'm not going to stop until every nest is burnt

stung by wasp, no, but I've got scars from where I escaped from being stung

yep they are, I got stung on my middle finger on Monday, I was putting in a flower bed sprinkler system in, and I was fiddling with a hose next a bush then I felt an extremely burning sensation, yep it was yeller jackets...sneaky sneaky *******s

Last Summer I reached in with a pole saw to clear a mesquite bush out of some cattle pens. When I went to cut they came out at eye level a $ $ first and one tagged me on my right temple between my sunglasses and hat. It didn't take an hour before my eye was swollen shut and drooling, looking like Sloth form the Goonies.
