[I_want_an_Omega]

Literally - was sitting down with the Mrs having a cuppa & all of a sudden I get this sharp pain in my right knee - I've been stung by a Wasp - the blooming thing has somehow got up my trouser leg. Good job it didn't get any further up! 

Goodness knows how it got there? :question

This is the first sting I've had since I was a kid - how long does it hurt for?

[scimmy_man]

probably looking for a winter hideout

May hurt for a day or two.  If any longer, best to get it checked out at your doctors to make sure all is okay, should it be for any longer.

How did you get it out without annoying it even more?

[I_want_an_Omega]

it happened when i crossed my leg & i squashed it !

it wasn't going anywhere after that

[geoffr70]

oh well at least it went out with a bang!

I'm told vinegar helps, but the guy who told me was a right arse so it might make it worse for all I know. Got stung on the bike a while back, always thought it hurt more as a lad coz I was little, no, still hurts just as bad....not unheard of for some to become allergic to wasp/bee stings as they get older, afaik

Vinegar does help
Some of you may remember last year, i used to torment a nest that was on one of walks with Mutley.
I'd block the hole & do all manner of things, well they must have gotten to know me, because one eve all i did was stop to have a look, one flew out & stung me on the forehead
I hate the things, i'd like to know what purpose they serve :-/ :-/

theres thousands of types of wasp around the world, each one has a natural prey in the insect world, so without wasps we'd be overun by every other bug

HATE wasps, why do they keep flying at your face time and time again? The trick is to keep calm and don't swipe 'em, but I don't want one landing on my nose, thank you
