Third wasp sting in three months- ER visit
Was stung on a hike with my 6 year old this morning.
I was stung about 4 weeks ago while weed eating and then about two and a half months ago when I got too close to a yellow jacket nest I didn’t know was being built under our siding.
My reactions have gotten increasingly worse- headache, nausea/GI pain, chills, lip swelling this last time.
So I went and spent 4 hours chillin’ in the ER to make sure I wasn’t gonna keel right on over. Finally have my very own epipen now.
But what the actual. The weedeating time I get it. The first and third time I feel like I was largely minding my own business!!
I don’t wear scented lotions. I don’t carry large hunks of fruit and meat around with me. I don’t typically sing songs of wasp murder.
Why am I the only one I know getting stung this year?! Am I on a yellow jacket‘s most wanted list? How do I continue existing in nature without getting stung, damnit?
