Is the Elephant Man look in this season?

Didn't he do well?

Got stung on my ear the other day after getting three of the little darlings in my hood. No reaction other than the normal: Pain, giving way to itching and a little localised swelling to the ear....

My 7 year old has been stung on the head twice and also showed no reaction other than a little localised swelling....

Guess we are just in the lucky group that don't tend to react...

I got a number last year my forehead swelled like a Klingon from Star Trek ,. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yes

The Klingon look is in this season.

Did the same last year, stung on the top centre of my head.

Got stung on my left cheek and couldn't remove the sting as I was carrying out an inspection it was in for about 20 mins!! Massive swelling and the next day I was quite feverish and had two days off work!!
Got stung three times last week on my back and bum and only slight swelling and itchy for a few days. I guess my body is becomig desensitised

Heres my selfie and the annoying thing was who was stung at this acts BBQ - the beekeeper! Do bees know? Drinking Stella took off my sun hat no where near hives or bees not doing and inspection not wearing any clothes from earlier Apiray work!

Got trapped in my hair and bingo - stung! (maybe I need to get my hair cut short, Grade 1 all over!)

Have a laugh at this photo!


PS Maybe a sick day tomorrow, if I cannot see to drive to work!

Oooo. That's a good one. It was just my cheek and neck that swelled, so from a certain angle I looked like a right porker (I'm not - that much anyway).

Hope it gets better very soon. The irony is equally painful I suspect!

An excuse. There are a lot of one-eyed drivers out there. Just need to turn your head a lot more.

At least it was the Beekeeper at the BBQ, and they know what to expect, others at the BBQ, claimed they get really bad reactions, blah, blah, blah...

I just drank more Stella! (and put my hat back on!)

One eyed drivers who have leaned how to asses depth of field.

This takes time. If you drive one eyed tomorrow you may be putting your insurance at risk and be a risk of a motoring offence.

A bag of frozen peas will reduce the swelling.

 

[einsteinagogo]

Thanks

frozen peas does not work for me, off to quack, for some steroids!

 

[einsteinagogo]

Went to the Docs to be checked, he was happy local reaction normal and prescribed steroids to control swelling so I could drive! And also prescribed a bucket load of stronger anti-hyst for me to take on inspection days or immediately after being stung at BBQs! As and when required at my digressions and just told to ask for repeat pres. If I want more.
