Whatch out for wasps

[Mike8560]

Welli went to install  some bolsters this morning I finnished yesterday late
I had toreach into holes under the gunnelS to install some nuts.
I instelled the rear one about 6 nutsthats was ok then I did the starboard side 3 nuts. I wD working on the 1st one when a wasp fell out of the hole about the size of my hand.
I was laying on myback   He landed on my lip and stung me.
Now I look like Louie Armstrong

Dang, that had to hurt. I guess you could always find a pretty woman and have her kiss the sting to make it better. :)

I got stung while on top of my coach one day. I was up there 13 ft in the air dancing around like an idiot while trying to get away from a couple that were still flying around while trying to keep from falling off. I am sure my neighbors got a kick out of it.

I hate bee's and wasps.

Ouch!!!!!!  I am scared to death of them!  I am always looking up under there first to make sure there aren't any.  Also when taking off sail covers!  They love nesting in those!  My lip hurts just thinking about it!

I'd out up a pic but you'd all laught  to death ;)

we have have a boat shed and a dingy shed at out yacht club.

over the weekend I had to go into the Dingy shed and found someone
has stored some polystyrene in the roof space.
And there was a huge wasp nest inside the bag of poly, needless to say i got
out of there PDQ.

I feel for ya man. We were deployed in an area that had alot of those little yellow jackets once and one got inside my pop can unseen. Do not confuse unseen and unnoticed.Mercifully these little goobers leave a lump the size of a small marble cut in half but it only last a couple of hours.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune,  If any of you guys and gals want to hear it I can tell you how to make a gadget that will eliminate your pain and fear of any stinging creature.   I became allergic to stings about 20 yrs ago, after two trips to the hospital for shock and not to mention the bills for the e room, and time wasted sitting in there for hours to make sure I don't have secondary reactions, I started looking for an alternative to the epi pen and benadryl.   I found it !!!!!!I cant guarantee that it works on every person 100 percent of the time,but I can say that it has worked 100% of the time that I have used it on me and my friends. You have to look at a sting in a technical way and have an open mind to accept what I will tell you, until you get stung and try it and then you will be singing it's praises.  If anybody on this board has one of these  they will likely chime in and report of its amazing effectiveness. I'm not going to go into detail about this unless I get some response to this post because it will take a little time to describe in detail.   If you want to hear it let me know.
