Yellow jacket sting

That was one of my favorite books as a wee little lad! And Verde. You dont happen to have a Verde tattoo, do you?

Verdi? The snake book? I have only seen the book but never read it. Looks like a book to add to my son's collection.

That is an impressive amount of swelling! I'm not going to call you a baby, haha. I turn into a total sissy around wasps of any kind. Show me a spider and I'm instantly like: "Ohh let me see it!" Even out in the bush, spiders don't scare me.

One wasp flies too close to my soda? Lose it, snap, flip my chair and bolt. Most graceful thing in life.

I love wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, etc., but I've been stung numerous times as well. Got stung by three of them this summer trying to move their nest from our porch without harming them, and my hand swelled up so much that I couldn't move my fingers.
The only advice I have is to put ice on it, it won't do anything to heal it, but it'll blunt the pain, if it's bad.

I don't love them but certainly do find them interesting, especially their venom. Now if I find a nest they are as good as dead.

I do love my honey bees though.
