Cliff Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 No really a real Queen. Not that 26 year old Zimbabayan princess who wants my bank account. Nope a real bonafide Queen. An honest to goodness slice of true royalty. And I had her in my bed. Yup, I'd just gone to sleep. Snoozing then a SCREAMING AWFUL PAIN in my foot. Something was tearing the living daylights outta my foot. Up I leap and and I rip the covers back and there she was: A Queen Yellow Jacket who had decided that my bed sheets were just the place to winter over. She was almost 3" long SCARY BUG~!!! She stung the livin' whoolywoolie outta my foot Swelled up like football Hurt like crazy. I suppose it could have been worse. Well now I know. I think I'll say away from royalty from now on.

lew Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Cliff! I was wondering where you have been! I HATE yellow jackets. They are just down right mean. I accidently walked thru a nest in the mountains, once. You know, you can't outrun those critters! Link to comment

Buckaroo Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Worked with a guy that would take DOWN wasp nest bare handed, yellow jackets he couldn't handle. Hornets, take'm down, no problem. He'd take a loaded wasp nest(wasp on it under his palm) put it inside'ez shirt. Wasp come outa there like a fire sale. He'd hold a wasp up to'ez toung and it would not sting'm. AINT TRYING TO BE BIGGEST LIAR HERE, JES SOMETHING I SEEN, MANY TIMES. Link to comment

Cliff Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 The Histamines have been the worst part so far. It hurt like crazy, but he itching has been maddening. It's a weird itch. Scratch it and it actually itches more. Link to comment
