I got done over by bees many years ago, my own fault, I was using a
tractor Rotavator and rotovated across the front of 3 hives, they
took exception.
Wasps, I would have been dead in less than 10 mins with the number
of stings I had.

Lucky me then. I have a bit of an escape.I just dont know why they
picked on me. and i feel a bit sick as well

You probably feel as if you have had a kicking.
If you have any antihistamine tablets (Hay fever/travel sickness
tablets then take a dose, it could still help.


Antihistamine is what my doctor gave me.
I feel much better now.
I thought I was going to die.
I still feel weak.

You need to talk to your doc about an Epipen. When my bees went for
me, I woke in the night feeling as if I had the worst case of flu known
to man. One eye was swollen shut the other I could only open to a
minute amount. That was around 16 stings and that's a load of venom. I
don't get used to bee stings, I get worse. You do need to check this
very carefully. Wasps seem more aggressive than bees, ime and imo and I
will avoid them at all costs!
