Dunno if one of those overpriced Epi pens would have saved me from that bunch.

Not had to use a pen yet, but told to keep one around at all times.

Last sting no prob.

One before that? ER and a month and a half of hives (all over).

Got nailed by a bunch in HS, swatted/killed em, itched a little. No big deal.

10 yrs later stung twice and felt like I had the flu. A yr later and an arm sting has my arm swell up 1.5X and go beat red with intense heat (hours later) and then was OK.

Bounced one of the Jeep mirror 5 yrs later and that the ER visit.

Used to freak me out in early goose season, cleaning the birds.........damn YJ's between fingers buzzing. Never stung, they were too busy eating.

But icewater would flow through my veins when they'd vibrate between my fingers.

Yeeesh.

Nest like that? Proly scorch earth at least an acre.
