Good advice!

Heh, I have been having my insect encounters with a hornet and two honeybees lately, and I have to admit, the honeybees are pretty mild in comparison from a pain perspective. Just this past weekend, one flew down the back of the collar of my shirt, and my wife thought I was going to wreck the car. It stung me, and having it wiggle was worse than the pain, which wasn’t much.

My encounter with the hornet, while far more painful, was funnier in retrospect, because we were driving down a road, and the hornet dropped onto the seat right between my legs, which were bare because I was wearing shorts.

As I watched (also checking the road ahead, behind and beside me, if one can have one eye doing one thing and the other something else) that damn thing crawled this way and that, then, as I had raised my ass off the seat, it climbed right in and up to my butt crack!

I slammed on the brakes (there were no cars around me) and that blasted thing stung me three times, each one a lot more painful than the honeybee sting, but not as painful as those ants.

I must say, it unnerved me so see that hornet walk right into my shorts and feel it walk up my leg to the...er...junction!

I had one fly down my collar once also.
After that I kept a small bottle of meat tenderizer in the glove compartment.
I swell up badly. Got whacked 3 times on my upper lip and nose once by yellow jackets. Looked like I’d gone a round w/ Mike Tyson. awful.
