“From what we’re being told, if you use it, you know, you might use it one or twice and be fine, but the third time when your body hits that allergic reaction, it can kill you,” Sgt. Charles Sutphin told WCHS.

“It’s a cheap fix, and you don’t know what their overall result of their usage of this is going to be,” Sutphin added.

Physical effects of using the wasp spray include erratic behavior and extreme swelling and redness of the hands and feet.

Stores in Boone County on Friday sold nearly 30 cans of the wasp spray, according to the outlet.

Locals said widespread drug use in the area was prompting people to find new ways to get high.

I guess after Obola killed all their coal jobs, they 1st went to opiads, then heroin, and now wasp spray. I guess they’ve just given up.

It is a shame because I am willing to bet that WV is a very beautiful state. Lots of camping, hunting, hiking, and fishing.

After my head injury I was put on Wellbutrin.

They call it the poor man’s coke.

But it EATS your arms away if you inject and people STILL DO IT.

Literally eats a chunk of your arm!!

Even more weird, is to have caught that movie on Christmas Day in a theater virtually unattended.

Is it true wasp spray is a good alternative to pepper spray?

That’s just great. A product that does it’s intended purpose well will now probably get changed to something that barely works thanks to moronic druggies.

Yeah, but on the good side I don’t have any wasp’s nests in my lungs.

No sh*t. The Minstry of Drugs will regulate it like a narcotic and put it in the pharmacy. You’ll have to justify buying it. No more than two per quarter. The wasps win. Thanks, meth head moron sand brain jackasses.

Look up the homemade water traps. You take a large plastic storage bin and fill it with soapy water. Then you put a piece of wood over the top of the bin and hang chunks of raw chicken from below. The wasps take a chunk of the meat, and then fall in the soapy water.

you would win.

my parents being from WV, we went there every summer in my childhood.     my grandparents WV farms-especially in the '50s and '60s-were an entirely different world from the city. I'm eternally thankful for that exposure to another style of life during my formative years.

Then you go outside to check the trap, and as you’re standing there saying, “Wow, look at all the wasps!”, the bear who showed up for free snacks rips your face off. No thanks!
