Just got stung...

[Terry G]

...in the throat. This should be interesting. Epipens locked and loaded.

In the throat? Or on the throat?

You are supposed to eat the honey not the bees....

 

[drstitson]

IN the throat? HOW?

 

[Terry G]

Ah, good question. On the throat. I wasn't performing my world famous bee-swallowing trick this time.
Mesh got pushed back under my chin while I was hefting the hive onto a new stand, a process that the bees appeared not to approve of. Ungrateful little sods. Honestly, the things I do for them...

...On the throat...

That's when it's worth having a couple of piriton tablets available. Or get a bag of frozen peas on it if there's nothing else around.

I've necked (or should I say 'throated') n anti-histamine tablet, though I should say I'm drawn towards the 'shot of vodka' cure.

Best of luck

The quinine in Schweppes tonic combines well with gin to prevent malaria so it's preferable to vodka for bee stings - or so I say...

Many thanks

Ouch...... Just Ouch....

 

[Excession]

Ouch, well you are still responding to posts, so you must still be breathing.

That's good news.

Bad news is you might need to learn the banjo...

Hi Terry G,
Me, tip of the nose, lip, chin. How does it compare or have you only had the one to the throat?

Glows under a dark light apparently.

 

[Beauhawk]

That will be interesting if it swells up like your hand!

Any important meetings tomorrow?

 

[Terry G]

Hmmm, so far so good. A bit woozy, which I'm sure has nothing to do with this evening's anti-histamine/white wine combo, but no soreness or inflammation. I'm beginning to think (hope)that the little beast didn't plunge the lance home. Having said that, I'll probably wake up looking like I've got a massive goitre.

 

[Terry G]

Well, in the words of the immortal Reg, I'm still standing.
In fact, other than a tiny lump and a small red mark next to my Adam's apple there is no sign that I have been stung.
Maybe I didn't cop the whole payload before I jerked the veil away from my neck and the bee with it.
