It’s definitely the time of year that you have to watch out for yellowjackets around here. They’re mean little suckers. My sister got into a nest at my mother’s house about a month ago. Unbeknownst to her, they were nesting in a large empty flower pot on the patio that had filled up with leaves and when she went to dump it out they ate her up. She got stung her about 20 times and they even followed her back to her car and some got in with her. She was lucky that she didn’t have a reaction.
We haven’t run into any on the trail yet, but I’m sure we will. We always do. I need to remember to keep a little bottle of Benadryl tablets and some Sting Kill in my saddle bags from now on until frost. I think Kari usually carries an Epi-pen in hers incase anybody has a more extreme reaction. I always try to stay near the front of the line on the trail because it’s always the last ones who get stung the worst. Noble aren’t I? ;o)
Hello,
I’ve been having trouble with my computer but have it working now. No one knows much about Macs.
