ARGH!
went out caching yesterday and apparently disturbed a wasps nest -
got stung 7 or 8 times by yellowjackets.
yay.
called my health hotline hb_merlot and he gave me some good advice which i followed, of course - I feel like two stingers are in my fingers (i know wasps don't NORMALLY lose their stingers... but believe me on this, there are two objects in my fingers where i got stung) and they are too far down to get them out with the 'ole credit card scraping trick.
a friend of mine said she remembers there being something you could buy to hep draw the stingers out - i've got no idea. I just know it's making my fingers very sensitive to just about everything.
otherwise i feel fine.
and no, i didn't get the cache - i went for a park and grab, instead. Much less nature around :p
