Ive been stung a few times, painful but not lasting. My late wife on the other hand stepped near a yellow jackets nest and five or them got her in the leg. Her face and neck started to swell I called the Dr. He said bring her in right away.When we got there her eyes were swollen shut. The Dr. was in the parking lot and gave her a shot right away. Within a short time she was ok.


Good to hear that she got treatment right away and responded well. Sadly, some folks only have minutes to get treatment to counteract the reaction so knowing that they are at risk they have to carry the Epi-Pen with them at all times.

Wow.

My worst experience was when hunting for amethyst crystals in a famous place named Charlie's Creek in NE GA, about a 1.5 hour jeep ride off the nearest paved highway on a dirt path and creek bottom. About 1/2 way up a tall hill, I was looking for anything that might lead to finding the famous amethyst. I didn't find any amethyst that day. But I did disturb the stones over a ground wasp nest. As soon as the first ones flew out from under the overturned rock, I began running downhill as fast as I could. By the time I reached the bottom of the hill, I had 24 wasp stings below the waist, thru the shorts and on bare legs. Took hours for the worst of the stinging venom to work through my body, tremors, etc. And then we started the 3-4 hour drive back home. Have not gone back again. No desire to repeat being so many hours away from any medical care.

Gem collecting sounds like an interesting hobby and there is such hidden beauty in the stones. I can relate to uncovering a nest of wasps although lucky for me I had never been stung but by a few of the horde at a time.
