when was the last time???

[CobraSnake]

you were stung by a bee??? I've been working for a company as a leasing consultant for a while now. I was originally out on the northside but lately i've been working at or location on 76th and Howard, since the girl had a baby. The other day we got a call about a cat left outside. They knew who it was so we checked there account and they didn't have a cat listed. So we called and left messages with no reply. So we got the cat and put it in one of our vacant apartments with food water and a litter box. So today I was visiting the cat in the apartment but when I was petting him/her(I don't know how to tell if its a male or female) I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looked down and there was nothing. I put it off as my leg hair getting caught in my pants somehow. But, then not in a few seconds later I felt a sharp pain in my arm. Then I saw a bee flying around. First of all I thought bee's can only sting once then they die? But that must not have been the case. I left the apartment and before I could get back to the office my arm and my leg swelled up. Its been about a hour since I was bit and my arm seems a little red but overall fine. But my leg is huge. Does this mean I'm allergic because when I say my leg is huge I mean it. Its probably a 6in by 6in bulge in my leg. If anyone knows about this kinda stuff let me know so I can go to the doctor. If not i'm sure i'll be fine. Just wanted to post this so people can watch out for themselves.

It's been 7 years since I have been stung. I used to get stung all the time thgough when I was a kid so I'm not allergic.

I think my lab got stung the other day though because when I got home from work, her face was puffed up so bad. 2 days worth of Benadryl and she's about back to normal but the past couple days have been shitty for her.

i'de get that shit checked out i just got stung at work not to long ago on the roof there was a huge nest of them i didn't know about and got a few here and there they were only small red spots didn't swell up at all really

[4eyedstang]

the swelling is pretty normal especially if its been a long time since you where last stung
few things to look out for. trouble breathing or the swelling getting worse or moving up your leg i am by no means a medical pro but i do work in a school and have dealt with tons of bee stings the best thing i used so far was to rub in a little meat tenderizer right where you where stung . helps a lot

[Mr Twigbert]

I've found that a good layer of fat all over your body helps to keep the bees venom from entering your blood stream..

[CobraSnake]

yeah its getting hard to walk. My leg is probably the same size as it was before. I'm feeling a litte weak but i'm not having any trouble breathing. But it still is red all all hell and swelled up right now. I think the stinger might still be in there.

I got stung by 3 hornets on my back/shoulders just last week. Got a nest in the ground right by my house and got attacked. Hurt like hell, and what was worse is they were in spots I couldn't reach.

Take some Benadryl will help with the swelling along with ice on the area.

i got stung in the mouth once when i was like 8... it sucked. haha.

[Goat Roper]

I just got it the other week in the leg and that sob itched for quite a while afterwards.

[wrath]

antihistamine. Just about anything will work. It'll stop your body from going nuts. It'll still hurt and be sore but it won't be so swollen or itchy.

[CobraSnake]

yeah my arm one was ichy but its pretty much gone now. My leg is stiffing up so I'm going to go to the doctor. I know theres not much they can do but, I get off work early now.

This year I got stung in the neck by a wasp or hornet on my way to work on the bike at a stop sign. Then I took my son to a park in caledonia and I got stung 8 times in the hand and arm. The last time before these was about 20 years ago and I got nailed 21 times by trying to kill a wasp nest at my parents old house.

Some guy just keeled over and died after getting a bee sting last week in Milwaukee , I think. Read about it in the Journal paper. I think it was only a matter of hours.
