Getting dressed is painful sometimes..

I have now had the full experience, this pseudo-summer. This morning (around 6pm) I woke up and put my shirt on, only to feel the unpleasantness of tiny venomous needles sticking into me.

There were about 3 hornets living in my shirt (that was folded and put in my chest of drawers by the way). They apparently didn't like me wearing their home, so they went sting crazy.

I haven’t been stung by hornets or bees since I was a wee kid, and this summer I have been stung by both. Here are my findings!

Bees - Hurt like a bitch and then leave a large poison sac pulsating in your skin, oozing venom into your blood, and will probably take about 10 hours to completely get rid of the pain. The area will be numb for days.

Hornets - Bigger and scarier looking, but their stings are far less painful. They have the exact same sensation as a bee sting, but without the pumping venom feeling.

I hopefully have gotten through to those who are allergic to bee stings. Now that you know what it feels like given my vivid description, and eloquent wording, you won’t be tempted to go out and try it!
