“Hey doctor, any way to take away the pain and keep the swelling?”

Many years ago when raking hay with an open tractor, I opened up a ground nest of either yellow jackets or some other hornet family. Even banging the tractor into high gear and screaming across the field in high gear at a stately 18 MPH wasn’t enough to stay ahead of them. I’m not sure what hurt more – getting stung or slapping myself in the head to kill them.



Many years ago when working around the house in shorts, a wasp flew up a pant leg and decided to start stinging. Again, I’m not sure what hurt more – slapping myself in the male anatomy area or getting stung. All I know is that I could have been a member of a freak show at a circus for several days.  Alright, I can hear some of you guys laughing now!



But, no joke. Getting hit with stingers when driving can be disastrous. Even getting a bug in an eye is serious. And for those who are seriously allergic to stings – no more needs to be said.

Sunday afternoon, 5pm: after doing yard work all day, I decided to take my small-mouth TR3 out for a spin.  Coming up a country road at around 80, I felt a sharp pain in my neck, followed shortly thereafter by an equally sharp pain in my chest.  A wasp (or hornet, or whatever) had flown down my open-neck shirt and wasn’t happy.  Neither was I !!



Trying to stop the car and extricate myself from my four-point harness while being stung must have been a  hilarious picture!



Finally I pulled over and removed the little so-and-so from my abdominal wall.



I am allergic to all kinds of stings, so here I am with 4 enormous welts ranging from my neck to my navel.



But don’t we love our little British cars  ☺
