I can personally feel for this gal.
3 weeks ago, I was weed-whacking around some trees here on our property just before dark. I had safety glasses and gloves/boots on. I felt something “hit” my eyebrow. Thinking it was probably just a twig, I kept on working. Next thing I know, I’m being “hit” from every direction, but mostly around the eyes. I had weed-whacked straight into an underground yellow jacket nest without realizing it. I took off running for the house. They chased me all the way to the house and some even came inside after me.
I’m no spring chicken (68 this week) and was stung in about 25 or so places, but they mostly went for my eyes and face. I’m glad I had those safety glasses on. I’m not allergic to stings, but I downed some antihistamine anyway and coated the stings with some wet baking soda. I probably should have went to the ER but I didn’t. I was swollen and hurting pretty bad over the next few days. I pulled thru it.
Yeah, I can feel for her as she got it way worse than I did.
You were lucky. A friend of mine’s elderly parents have a farm in Kenya. The mother died of bee stings.
