    I cut some grass at some different neighbor's house and one has some Bamboo I have to cut.
    Got my Husquvarna chain saw out. The minute I cranked it, Hornets come out like a Batallion and hit me. You could of stabbed me with a Ice Pick and it wouldn't of hurt no worst. One got me super good on my right arm near my elbow on the inside. It feels like you got a rubber ban Pulled real tight in my arm and my elbow hurts. It has been a couple hours and I'm still hurting like it just happened.
    Had to wait a hour to go back and git my chain saw. The hornets wouldn't get off it.
    Took Spectricide Wasp and Hornet spray. They acted like it didn't effect them.
    Trying to sit in the air and stay cool and drink a Redneck Bud to make sure I don't git goofy feeling.

    This is him

    If you drink enough beer it will hurt less.

    It has been 5 hours and it still feels like it just happened.
    my wife scraped it with a knife and put ice on it.
    When we took the ice off I nearly went into a fit.

    Hurts worst than any sting I've ever had.

    This sux's too, can't even think about riding the bike.

    That's a Yellow Jacket, they don't die when they sting, they can sting over and over
    when you kill one it's a signal for others to attack, generally the stinger is left with a venom sac on the end, you have to be careful removing it or you inject yourself with more venom.. Probably what happened to you.

    BTW it says fruity perfumes attract them, were you wearing your Chanell Number 5 again?

    I got stung next to the inside of my elbow next to my funny bone.
    Its been over 30 hours.
    My whole inside of my elbow and up my arm is swelled up still.

    I git stung by Red wasps all the time. And its nothin like this ground hornet.
    I had to wait till the swarm let up over 30 minutes to go back and git my chain saw.

    vibrations spooked on, or maybe you accidentally stepped on one, you kill one it's venom sac busts and it scents the air and the rest come in revenge mode... Great army if ya think about it, screw with one of their own and they make you pay...

    they also say high pitched squeelling like a little girl running makes um mad....

    Ya shoulda shown them yer eyefone, they'd been impressed and left ya alone.

    Kiddin aside it's a 72 hour thing, if it's not going down, you might want to go to
    a quickie emergency medical place and get a shot.. You might be allergic..

    The OL scraped it all directions with a knife
    She put ice on it. When I took the ice off about 20 minutes later I thought my arm was gonna explode.


    I got kinda of sick today. Had to lay down. Got out in the heat of over 94 and was Puney.

    Gonna have to git outside tomorrow and work in the sun while I help my buddy work no Boats.
    Hope everything goes O.K.

    Appreciate all the help.


    Can still remember a huge swarm of thema and them dive bombing over and over on the chain saw and stickin to it too.
    Thought the swarm was gonna never leave.
    It was a trip watchin the Hornets try to attack the emeny.:gah:
