Usually, I don't look out for vengful vermits or vicious insect of any kind while walking into my house. It's not like I'm paranoid and constantly checking my surrounding for crazed creatures. Well, two days ago my laid back approach of going into the house from my car didn't really work as I'd like it to.
I was just a walkin' into the house when out of my pariferal vision this black thing flies super fast to my arm and attacked it! More out of shock than hurt, I flicked the wasp off my arm and screamed both out of shock and pain. (Maybe the scream wasn't a good idea, because the night before we had a creeper around our house at 2 am and Elizabeth and Liz had to call the coppy-cops out of fright. So maybe my timing wasn't on target, because I think I sounded more abducted than stung to Elizabeth who was sitting in the kitchen.)
Long story short.....I got my first wasp sting. Just because it happened so fast, it didn't happen as bad as I thought it would. I guess it was a good thing that I got it on my wrist instead of my eyelid!
If you ever find yourself in the same situation, I would suggest that (provided you don't seem to have an allergic reaction) you ice it for 10-15 mins if you can and then soon after apply a paste of Baking soda and water to the sting. Stick a giant bandaid over it and if you got the same result as me, you should feel practically nothing soon after! I don't know what it is about baking soda, but it certainly did the trick!!!
