    Taken out by a Wasp sting

    I'm gonna miss work this weekend because of a wasp sting I got 5 years ago! In 2003 I was living in Louisiana. I was walking into the garage and felt something land on the bak of my neck. When I slapped at the back of my neck, I got stung. It was one of those iridescent blue mud daubers. These things rarely sting anyone unless you put your hand on them. Aren't I lucky? The sting healed but left a tiny bump on my neck. I thought it was just some scar tissue under the skin. Over the years it grew a little but not enough to bother me. But in the last few days it suddenly exploded to silver dollar size and started hurting like hell. I went to work and showed the company nurse. She sent me to the doctor. Now I gotta have intravenous antibiotic treatment for the next 3-4 days and they will most likely do some cutting on me Sunday.

    Ain't life grand?!

          Don't watch Alien before you go to the doctor.

              wow, thats nasty.

              My wife went through a serious infection due to a cat bite, but it was next day thing, not 5 years later!

                  Did it leave part of the stinger in, or was it carrying some kind of infection?
