For me, it was a yellow jacket because I was allergic (unknown if I still am)

Red Wasp sucks pretty bad. A little chewing tobacco and a bandaid or tape on the sting will help a bunch though.


I thought that was an old wives tale until one popped me on top of my hand. It hurt so bad I had my wife unwrap a cigar, wet the tobacco and lay on the sting mark & tape it up. It was almost instant relief.

I'd say a cow ant or the multiple red wasp stings. I got hit 7 times by the red wasps at one time. Couldn't get away.

Not an insect- but Portuguese Man o’ War was by far the most painful sting I’ve ever had.

One got tangled in my bikini top while I was swimming a good ways from the shore a couple years ago. It stung me the whole way back to the beach. I probably looked insane as I swam back like a human speedboat and ran back to our room hollering and struggling with my top.

NB4 did my husband pee on it. No

From birth? Did your parents not let you play outside?

Red wasp. Two stings on the right arm when I was 9-10 years old. I jumped up and grabbed the T part of a clothes line pole to swing on it. There was a wasp nest in the pipe. Two came out with ill-intent and popped me.

My grandmother all but dragged me screaming into the house and rubbed me down with a snuff and water paste. I smelled like tobacco for a damn week, but it did help the pain.

I was stung by a red paper wasp on my eyelid when I was about 10-11 years old. Man that shite liked to kill me.

Eye doctor said had my eye been opened I would have 100% lost it. Crazy.

was stung by a lot of things growing up, but this is in my mind, though I’m not sure if it’s technically a sting.

Cow ant

It is a sting, and the Velvet Ant isn't an ant at all. It is a wingless wasp. The ones you see and worry about are the females. The male has wings, is much smaller, and doesn't sting.

When I was around 10 years old, I was at my grandmas house playing horse shoes with my cousin.
We saw a red wasp and a bumble bee flying around the stake. My dumbass cousin threw the shoe and hit them.

All I know is both those sorry suckers stung me in my arse. The dang bumble bee was stuck to my arse and while I’m crying like a little bitch, my grandma runs outside and judo chops the bumblebee from my arse.

All my cousins were on the front porch just laughing their asses off. Fun times.

We called those “cow-killer ants.” As kids we’d trap them in glass jars and shake the jar around to make it squeak. They are noisy little devils.

I was 13. Loading square bails. Jumped a wind row of fluffed hay that was over a ditch. When I landed on the other side, 13 ground hornets on the front torso, 16 on the back torso. I was convulsing and was hospitalized.

Do I win?

Why the hell did you let it live after the first sting?

When my Mom was a kid her and her best friend were out in the woods near their house. They were running through the woods, and a piece of tin was on the ground. Her friend jumped the tin, but my Mom stepped on it at full sprint. Well, there was a hornet nest under that tin and she got stung I can't remember how many times. She managed to run back to the house and they took her to the doc in town. He gave her a shot and told them to watch her all night. It wasn't like she could sleep anyway because the hornets got her all up the back and on the sides.

Depends, did you finish loading the hay before you went to the hospital?
