Got a wasp trapped in my top this morning...
Discussion
Ouch.
Never been stung by a wasp, on a bike or off it.
Bumblebees, however, are a different matter.
Had two fly into my mouth on separate occasions.
One stung my tongue. Couldn't eat or talk properly for 36 hours!
The second I partially spat out and it stung the inside of my bottom lip.
I could feel the venom sac pumping away, pulled it out with my teeth and spat it out.
I then bit my lip really hard until the fluid coming out tasted normal, and spat that out.
Nowhere near as bad that time.
If it had been wasps? Hospital, methinks!
