Yellowjackets got me today. Those are no joke.

Old man in Mississippi told me the best remedy for yellowjacket stings is Levi Garrett chewing tobacco. Just take a wad out of the pouch and hold on the site of the sting.

Benadryl helps with the itching and swelling, also buy a bag of red man chewing tobacco and get a dose of it wet and tape it to the area that got stung. It'll help.

Meat tenderizer also works.

Don't ask me how I know.

Try being a cable guy. Every damn door I open, every time i set my ladder up, i have to bd extremely tentative. Thoss bastards are the band of my existence, especially when up on a ladder 20 feet in the air.

Went to work early. Got pissed the grass was so high and my regular guys hadn't done it.
Over a foot, as we've had a ton of rain.

Start mowing with push mower. In less than 5 min I see what I assume are some kind of grasshoppers all over hopping everywhere. Or so I thought.

Soon the stings to my legs came. I realized they where yellow jackets. I take off running across our yard. I get to another group of guys yelling. I look down and see 10 to 15 bees on each pant leg still attached even after running.

I start swiping. I turn around and 10 to 15 more followed swarming my head.

Of all those bees attached to my pants and swarming my head, I only had two stings. One one may calf and one on my butt cheek.

Now, I've been stung before but, these things have felt like burns all day.

even now, feels like someone has a hot match next to my skin.

Those damn things are vicious!

In July I ran into a nest.Got me 4 times in the calf,once in the hand, 4 times on the cheek, once on the nostril and once in my nose. Starting screaming and acting like a mad woman. Luckily my sister was here and heard me screaming and pulled me inside. The little bastards followed me in the house. I had some on my leg still attached.
Once we got them killed and removed from me, started taking antihistamine and did the tobacco thing.
After about an hour I couldn't take it anymore and went to a med express and received pred and pain killers. Crap, this still makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it.
