Anyone ever had this happen. I was stung by a wasp on my fore head over my right eye and now my right eye is swollen shut. This is the reason I avoid wasps like the plague. Crazy thing is I was stung yesterday morning and didn't swell til overnight. This blows but at least it's now my peep sight eye lol.

I got stung on the ear and it quadrupled in size. I looked ridiculous. I went to the walkin clinic and got a shot.

Make sure that stinger isn't still in there. That will keep the reaction going longer.

Oh, and get some benadryl (then take a nap).

Had one hit me on the cheek a few weeks back. Luckily it didn't swell up but it hurt like a bitch.

I got hit by a ground bee once,while mowing my grass.Felt like I had been shot in the side of my leg.I looked down and that bee was grinding his arse,trying drive the stinger in as far as he could.
I brushed him off and just ran,figured more were about to attack. I couldn't get the stinger out,and my leg swelled up like a balloon. The flesh around the stinger actually rotted like a brown recluse bite.
The scar looks like a bullet hole.

Couple years ago my son was in the backyard and a wasp stung him on the arm. He got pissed and grabbed a fly swatter from inside and went back out to do battle. Got one wasp and then he went after another, but it turned out to be a yellow jacket and it stung him right above his lip.

Man that sucks. I got stung on my left nipple cutting grass a few weeks ago. I had an A-cup for about a week.

I've been stung on the arm and the hand ... the first time was on my upper arm ( I was like early 30s) I didn't think much about it. But then it started moving down my arm to my hand ... and then it started weeping a little. Doc said had I waited one more day I'd have been in the hospital with sepsis.

Now when I get stung, I take Benadry (had done that the first time as well) and tobacco. If it keeps swelling the next day I tend to go in and get a shot.
