?Hey doctor, any way to take away the pain and keep the swelling??
Just a thought

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 ?
