I have never been stung before but I think i may have been on Tuesday. I say may have been as I thought if I got stung it would hurt like hell! I got back from installing the hive on the project site and while I was emailing my mum, noticed something sticking from my arm. I flicked it out, there was no pain, swelling, itching.....and a clear fluid sort of oozed out, not much though. I didn't think anything of it, but about 20 mins later I got an odd metallic taste in my mouth. I had an assesment at the adult ed center that day so off I went. Half way through I started feeling jittery. Like when you've not eaten and you feel faint, but twice as bad. I had a sugary bun and came home. After a little doze I felt fine. Could I have been stung. Could it have been by a young bee who's stung hasn't matured yet? The arm still isn't affected, just a very slight numbness over the scab, and I mean very slight.
Was I stung? I can't believe these are the only symptoms, I'm just not that lucky
