I'm allergic to bee stings, but haven't been stung for about 30 years.
Tonight, my 140 lb mutt, Howard, was snapping at something on the porch. I tried to see what it was, and the dang thing ATTACKED me.
Stung me good on the right hand. I was chasing him around with various spray cans of toxic chemicals until I finally killed him.
Did the aspirin poultice, which took away the pain, took some Benadryl, and now my hand is the size of a softball.
I hear stings are good for arthritis, so maybe some good will come from this?
