I'll tell you a foolproof way of stopping the itch and pain. Take a match or a ciggy and hold the fire as close as you can tolerate for as long as you can stand it !.. No more pain or itch !!

Or toss back a few shots of tequila(the only good thing I know of that came out of Mehico),and suck a lemon.

One day last week I got stung by 8 yellow jackets at the same time. Legs felt like they were on fire for 7 or 8 hours. Took 2 benadry and used ice packs every little bit.

The last “shackets” I dealt with were at church when we were clearing ground for a new building. The poor man in a bobcat with a drum attachment got bogged down over a nest and couldnt get away.
They called me and I got five gallons of Unleaded and baptized them that night.
The poor guys eyes were still swollen shut two days later.

I was doing some chainsaw work cutting shooting lanes.Was cutting down a small tree at ground level.Had one arm resting right on the ground but didn't realize my arm was laying right on a ground bee hole.They didn't like it when the chainsaw started vibrating their hive,and my arm was covering their only way out.Dont know how many wacks I got on that one little spot on my arm,but it was plenty.Just glad I didn't cut my own head off with the chain saw when I started flailing!

Put amnia on the sting as soon as possible and the pain and swelling go away. I use gas in the hole and a match. Bees don't bite they sting and there are worse stingers out there that yellow jackets.

I've many times dug into ground nests while trenching with my backhoe. i usually have enough time to bail out and run before they locate me but not always. When you see that angry cloud of bees/wasps/hornets boiling out you only have a few seconds to get far away. A few times I've let the machine run until after dark before retrieving it. The engine noise and vibrations seem to keep them agitated longer than normal.

Last weekend, while mowing an area I hadn't got to yet this year, I cut between the creek and a big dead limb that had fallen out of a maple tree. I clipped the end of it with the mower deck. Thankfully, I saw the cloud swarming around it before made my second pass.


Eh...wot?

We've got a Sherman tank in the city park here that's full of some kind of satan's spawn wasps both in the tank and in the ground around it. The kids like to climb on it of course. One time my now 5 (4 at the time) boy was climbing up on it and jumped off and started screaming and rolling on the ground. I ran up and found him with 20-30 wasps all over him, by the time I got him picked up and away, he had 7-8 stings on him. No problems other than some sore legs. I made a baking soda and water paste to put on the stings, but I don't know how much good it did. He learned a good lesson that day about where wasps live and how sometimes we have to be tough and fight through pain wink

I had a huge nest of them here 2 years ago. They tagged me good. 7 dust has always worked in the past. I think they changed the stuff because it did not touch those.

I don't know why I didn't see the nest of white faced hornets when brush hogging.

All I know was there a sudden swarming around my head and a hornet hit my left hand(I had a pair of leather gloves on).

Just felt a small pick and I bailed off the tractor and run. The hit was like a stone hat hit me. The swarm circled for a couple minutes then disappeared.

Got on the tractor and continued on. Being VERY aware of the brush. shocked

Was a Foreman on a railway brush gang for a few summers.Lots of guys got stung on that gang cutting with the power scythes.
I followed them with the chainsaw cutting the big stuff,I got stung less.Yellow jackets were nothing,just a firey sensation for a couple minutes then gone.
The big black hornets were the worst by far.Those things would leave a hole in your skin after the swelling went down.
Never had any problems on the section gangs since the brush was cut in the November window,after the swamps froze,and before track shimming started and after the ballast froze preventing track surfacing.
