Well - This article should put your mind to rest on that count.

BBC NEWS | Health | Life-threatening wasp stings boom













Doomed, I tell you - We're all Dooooooomed

 

We have the same interests then

 

jods you going over my knee if you dont packet in!

 

Good ill get me wellies

 

If it's any comfort to you I suffer bad swelling and lots of pain like a dull ache that can last for a day or two if I get stung by a wasp. I find alcohol helps, not applied to the sting directly but via the mouth and into the stomach

 

Still got a sense of humour then - Excellent!!

Usually - That is the first to go.




Then you start seeing colours become VERY Vivid.




As vivid as a spanked botty...

 

Best get your waders

 

Oh god, next there will be the gimp suits coming out of the closet

 

Not until the weekend

 

Just try to get hold of some anti-histamine cream or tablets - eg Piraton. If you were really allergic you would be dead by now. However this type of allergy can get worse each time you have an incident so beware.
I am supposed to carry an adrenalin pen (injection type thingy) but do forget.
If I have a prob you should see the rush they get on when you get to A&E no waiting about for hours I can assure you.
I do have a pretty ace pic of one incident but cos I'm thick don't know how to post

 

I dont think I'm in danger, like you say I'd be dead by now, although now my whole hand is swallon

I'll send you my e-mail and put the pic up

 

gets worse with every bite eh

ill be careful next time then-had a bad reaction over the summer

 

Keep us posted...

The more I read - The more I'm hopeful you'll pull through.

True - You may end up looking like the Bride of Wildenstein for a few weeks but - Hey - Some people like that - Especially in a rubber gimp suit.

Holy ****!!!!

Thats just not nice Squash those wasps!!

 

mine isn't actually caused by wasps or stings but the result is about the same. AI have to take tablets every day or this type of thing happens and it's a day or two in hospital....

If I did get stung it would probably be curtains

Thanks Scoobylou for the help

 

what can cause it then?

No problem on the help, anytime

 

Farkin' Ell - Is this you Daddy Scoob?

What did you look like AFTER you got stung?

Not being rude but you are one ugly ****

 

Started having probs - normally my tongue swelling and it just kept getting more regular and worse. NHS I'm sorry to say were a waste of time and after having some allergy tests the guy could not say what was wrong. His last words to me were - if you find out whats causing it come back and we'll test you for it.

Luckily I had private medical cover through work and went that route. Met a guy spent 30 mins with him and he knew exactly what was wrong. It's called angeo adema ( excuse the spelling ) fairly common but only normally effects people for a small number of weeks. However for me it's been about 5 years

Still at least I know

 

sorry no after pic - but it was bad trust me

 

Ok as jods kept badgering me (j/k mate ), I spoke to NHS direct and the person I spoke to has assured me I'm going to live and that it should be ok in a couple of days.

I still need flowers, chocolate and wine though so just pm for my address so you can all send them on

 

Aww bless you. Does it hurt?

Like you say least you know what it is, but 5 years

 

ScoobyLou has taken a Tern for the worst

It's touch and go...



I have been in touch with Jeremy Beadle as he has experience of variable hand size.

It was quite disconcerting to me that he chose this moment to say that he had a tiny pen1s













but on the other hand it was Massive

 

jods

You not far off though and it still bloody hurts

 

Only a little tern tho
