A Stinging Sensation
Aug. 15th, 2008 05:15 pmMan, I HATE being stung in the nose. I'd literally rather be stung 30 times in the arms than take one in the nostril.
If a bee stings me anywhere else I just casually brush out the stinger without really reacting any other way. If a bee stings me in the nose I'm likely to jump up, grabbing wildly at my nose to get the stinger out as fast as humanly possible, possibly while shouting in anguish. I will then walk around in bewildered circles for a few minutes until my nose stops running and my eyes clear of tears.
Today I got stung THREE TIMES in the nose!! Now my nose and upper lip are so swollen, I look like an ape. If I got just one sting in the nose every time I worked the bees I wouldn't do it. It fucking sucks. Fortunately, these were only the 2nd-4th stings in the nose I've gotten this year
