GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Yellow Jacket got me.

[zeake]

I was working in the yard in shorts and sandles. I uncovered a yellow jackets nest next to my air conditioner. I thought I was snake bit at first. The leaves were covering the yellow jackets so I could not see what got me. I haven't been stung by a yellow jacket since I was 9 years old. Worse than I remember.

Any one know how long pain from this lasts? It happened at 11am and it is almost 3 now. It hurts just as much as it did to begin with. I have had it propped up and iced for hours.
Ruined my day completely. No gym time. No yard work. I get to lay in bed and watch tv. I have my foot ontop of the computer desk just to type this and FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I hate yellow jackets.

Kiss a day goodbye, they hurt for a full 24 hours.

Dang it. Thanks for the info.

Rum.

No I stopped drinking. I have worked to hard for the last year and a half to put alcohol in my system. 64lbs was hard to lose. Alcohol slows the metabolism.

Vinegar or Ammonia sometimes relieve the pain a little.

Last time I got stung by yellow jackets, it itched like crazy for at least a week.

You may think I'm full of it, but meat tendorizer that contains papain breaks down the venom and helps relieve the pain and swelling. Mix it with baking soda and apply it for 20 minutes. You're welcome.
