Uninteresting Trivial Facts

[goldcard]

Don't normally react badly to wasp stings.

The 1 I got on Thursday, batted against my ear by a passing lorry, is different.

I'm posting this so you know, a lot of research has linked wasp venom with sudden heart attacks, sometimes up to a month after the sting.

With this wasp being knocked at my ear, I think instead of the usual "quick jab", I got everything it had.

I was driving at the time, in traffic, and it wasn't nice.

Major sudden pain, 10 tonner in front, Audi TT up my bumper, stream of Norbets going the opposite way, on the A40 by Eynsham roundabout heading to Cassington, where I pulled in, then Peartree.

Basically, if I suddenly stop posting, it's more evidence to the link.

My daughter knows, so that bit is covered.

I've really quite enjoyed eating bone marrow on a toasted baguette over the past two weeks.

Not sure if I want to keep chasing sticks and drinking out of lavatory bowls though.

I couldn't decide what to reply with - so you can take your pick

1. You've a bad hangover and your head hurts - not just your ear

2. If you were a woman you be carrying on with the ironing/cooking/cleaning and nobody would even know you had a sting

3. You're serious - get to a walk-in centre or A+E

The venom triggers sudden attacks, other than the ache around my ear/jaw, there's no symptoms to show it happened.Other than the small puncture wound.

Hang over has been got rid of via "hair of dog" treatment.

Stings in the past have done little/nothing.

Maybe some of the literature at work is on my mind, a loss making sideline we do is Wasp Traps, and the MD has allsorts scattered about.

Wish he'd keep them in the bag.

Or eat them.

Anyways, I was reading that, one bored lunchtime, and the usual "swelling gone after 6 hrs" hasn't happened.

Got me thinking.

Rather morbidly, I'll admit, but I do have previous here.

So you chose option 3 - would have thought if it happened Thurs and you're still here, you're safe, but don't be sorry - get it checked

Ta Mags.

I work in the grounds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, though the cardiac unit is now in Wycombe, rather inconveniently.

From what I've read the link is sudden unexpected arrest, no history, and up to 4 weeks from the sting.

Got some gear here, all well, but ....

If you don't know what boredom is, try reading "Pest Control Monthly" while eating lunch, cos there's f-all else.

Anyways, I think I'll be ok, but I thought I'd flag it up.

Possibly more than trivial, but not really worth a thread.

I was stung on the end of the nose and the top lip by a wasp in the garden yesterday. Little barsteward. Today I've got a swollen nose and a top lip that looks about 3 times its normal size. I'm hoping they let me through passport control tomorrow.

Got my own back this afternoon buy covering up the entrance to their little lair I found at the top of the garden.

Mrs HPR can't stop laughing at the sight of me.

Any celebrity show in which the 'invention test' isn't the preparing and eating of a harridan only famous for marrying a disgraced politician is a poor celebrity show.
