10. Call the ER ..and talk to a nurse..

Your tongue could swell and you might not be able to breathe..

A wasp/bee sting above the shoulders is an emergency..

8. I hope you are not allergic to insect venom

If you are you I hope you are on the way to the emergency room about now.

Here's some sympathy from a guy who just had a motorcycle spill and is feeling a bit unloved.

:hug:

11. shit, sorry man!

I ride too. :hug:

[Liberal Classic]

13. Thanks man!

As someone else said, wasp stings in the neck area can become swollen even if you are not allergic. They're a pretty serious thing.

As for my spill, I was doing about 30 - 35 on city street with a tight bend and I must have crossed the oily center patch or something. Next thing I know I'm on my ass watching my bike slide into the curb. I posted a thread in the Lounge, but no one loves me, so it has scrolled.

I will admit, however, that a wasp sting to the tongue is somewhat a novelty which might attract more posts than my boring motorcycle story.

:wow:

9. That Happened to Me Once

I took a drink from a can of Dr. Pepper and washed a yellowjacket right into my mouth. It stung my tongue AND my lip before I got it out. Hurt like hell, but there was no swelling.

14. Hope you're feeling better, just take very

good care of yourself, first sign of anything scary get to a doctor pronto!

But -- if I may ask -- how did that happen?
