Getting the nostalgia feels

[RocketMan]

Summer between my junior and senior years of high school, I accidentally stood over an underground hornets nest while helping a friend put up a dipole antenna.  It was right at twilight. Buggers flew up my right pant leg.  Over thirty stings from that little adventure.  Hurt like a cast iron beotch.  Didn't sleep well at all that night.

While running a dirt bike down a gravel road in 1983 I caught a yellowjacket in the lower lip. It stung me on impact and ended up in my mouth.  I tried to spit it out but it crawled down between my cheek and lower gum where it bit me again.
I pulled it up with my tounge and smashed.it beween my molars like a hunk of juicy fruit and spit it out.
All while traveling over 60 miles per hour.
I loved that IT465.

Did you go back and *expletive deleted*ck them up after dark with a half gallon of gas? It’s what I’ve always done when they get me.

Had a scorpion pop me on my fingertip when I was around 11 - 12. At the time, I thought I was gonna die! (TV shows)

Worst bee sting - 65mph on a motorcycle, wearing a tank top, hit on the collarbone.  Had to cut the stinger out.

Bleach works well on chigger bites.  Wet a towel and wipe on the area.  My brother says it works on skeeter bites, but haven't tried it myself.

I've started using Invisible Glove again.  Most anything will wash off with just water if you've got that stuff on before hand.

I've poured bleach on poison ivy. Relieved the itch for a while.

Small copperhead got me on the ring finger of my left hand when I was about 15.

That was not a pleasant time.

Hot water will give temp relief.  More or less mild scalding of the skin that I think just deadens the nerves at the surface.  I suspect bleach does the same thing, but I have never tried it.

I've tried both. Don't know how it works, but the effect is similar.

It interferes with the histamine reaction.

I once got stung in the balls by a wasp.
 
Got all y'all beat.

OUCH !!
One thing I forgot to add - look for Fels Naptha soap (a dark brown bar in a white paper wrap - in the "laundry" section) as I have used it uncounted times after possibly getting into poison ivy.  If possible, when I came in from hunting, I would shower up and use the Fels if it was still that time of year when the ivy was alive.  It saved me from some serious cases.  It might work in the ticks and chiggers as well, being naptha.
