| 説明 | Never had an issue with bee's or wasps, until now.If you've never been stung by a paper wasp, consider yourself lucky! Bee researcher Justin Schmidt, who developed the Schmidt Sting Pain Scale described the sting of a paper wasp as "like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut." It's generally accepted that the paper wasp ranks 3rd for the most painful sting, (the bullet ant ranks 1st & tarantula hawk wasp 2nd). Let me just say that when you are sound asleep and get stung on the arm, you wake up instantly....panicked and swiping at whatever just got you... causing usually another sting defending itself. The sting eventually turns to an ache in the muscle and area around it, lasting from 10min to a couple hours. Usually inactive at night, a full spectrum bulb in you nightstand reading light can mess with their schedule. We thought they were coming in through a window air conditioner or something like that, but every time we thought we got it... wham! I was stung aprox 15 times over a 2-1/2 month period. Then we finally found how they were getting in, fixed it, thought we were done with them. NOPE! One must have been hiding somewhere in the room, and a few weeks later wham, I got it again. This time by the time I got up in the morning my arm swelled from the elbow to hand.I did the typical G thing... ignored it and went to work. My boss noticed it was getting worse after only 1/2 hr at work and took me to an emergency room. I told her she was being paranoid, the ER told her another hour or so and it would have been an ambulance. WTF? I'm not allergic to bee's (everything else in the natural world yes, but not bee/wasps). Apparently the intervals between the stings were just enough to trigger some kind of whatevertheheck biological reaction, and walla.... and there's no way to predict how bad a reaction will be, each time is different. Go figure, now how am I supposed to get macro close-ups like I want with my limited lens capabilities.... well I stay about 6feet away and try to zoom. Eventually I hope to be in a position to afford another lens, but likely will be a year or more. |
