Bee sting

[misi]

My finger start recovering from a bee "bite".
For two days it was almost paralyzed from a bee's sting.
I helped the little bugger to get out from a bucket of water.
To become this bad has never happened to me.

 

[Guess]

Once a honey bee has used its 'sting', it will die.

When a honey bee stings a person, it cannot pull the barbed stinger back out. It leaves behind not only the stinger, but also part of its abdomen and digestive tract, plus muscles and nerves. This massive abdominal rupture kills the honey bee. Honey bees are the only species of bees to die after stinging.

That's good.

Bet the Bee isn't too good though.

I've arranged for its funeral.

I hope it's not some half-assed affair.

Would you call it that?

Actually I was referring "tongue in cheek" to the condition of the Bee for the funeral after the attack.

It reminds me of Eric the Half a Bee.

That's a nasty reaction alright. I wonder if it was an allergic reaction or if the sting affected a nerve or something.

The lady here has a life-threatening allergy to bee stings - and I think many people have that kind of allergy.

Finger is full of nerves and muscles, it hit some of them.
I'm not allergic to them. Little bubble for an hour or two and that's it.

Same here. The last event was on the back of her forearm, the large swelling was from wrist to elbow and took a few days to go down.

Personally, I have never had a problem with them, once even got one on my tongue, yup, really, no problems, a bit of sting, rip it out, get on with it. Same when I brushed a bush full of them, got heaps of stings, ripped 'em out, kept going. Guess I'm lucky that way.

I got one on my upper lip, in two hours the little bubble has gone.
My friend got one in his leg, had to take him to the doctor because his face-throat doubled in size.

This is a definition of luck that is new to me.

(Poor little bugger wanted to get some water from the bottom.)
