Attacked By Wasps, But Got Lucky A Salve Did The Trick.....

Thank you. It seems that the allergy is still there but not as much as before. He is allergic to cats too and house dust. The woman killed the whole nest of wasps which was hidden on the top of her porch somewhere so it was good she found out too. Sorry to that Dustin had allergies to so many insects. He is going to carry an allergic salve in the car from now on.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I used to have to carry an Epi pen with me.

@CarolDM Its always good to carry some kind of remedy of course no one wants to get stung but it can happen.

I always react also but now you cannot do anything if its to do with someone else.

@lovinangelsinstead21 It wasn't good..

Oh wow, that was an awful experience for him. Hornets are much worse than wasps although wasps are really nasty.

@snowy22315 I can well imagine that it was not. Scary to say the least.

Yes wasp stings can get to be quite nasty and tricky depending on the situation. It seems he has less reaction than before thank goodness.

@divalounger Good for himself as well. There were a whole load of them in a nest so he was very lucky as it could have been much worse.

@lovinangelsinstead21 That is good!

Thanks, I was trying to stop them hurting him see. But much worse would have been the awful treatment they had been giving him before for allergies. Wasps are a pain in the you know what......

@DianneN Oh good for him. I don´t mind bees so much but wasps are very sneaky little critters.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I totally understand and agree. My son is allergic to bees and now carries an Epi Pen.

Oh yes, it brought back the memory to me alright having to put him through those awful tests but they did save him a lot of other problems in the end. It was a long haul with him health wise till the specialist hit on the right dosis. Wasps are much worse for me and it feels awful to get stung by one sorry you got stung also. Now they do those tests on the inside of the wrist which does not hurt at all. Grown men would come out of there with tears in their eyes too very painful.

@Hannihar I can know how you feel but it did end the never ending trips to a very unhelpful Doctor.The last straw was when I asked that one what has he got well otitis woman what do you think? I did not think at the time it would have been as bad as that the test they did on him I mean. Thanks goodness its only on the wrist now and its far more accurate too. He had a big bubble come up on the test for wasp stings not so long back. I don´t dislike bees they will normally leave you be but wasps are really a pest. He rang me twice so I could tell he had been shaken up by it as they have the bad habit of coming out of nowhere. A chemist guy in my own hometown saved his life too by telling me that did you know this medicine they are giving him has been off the market for 30 years because its toxic. So all that ended with those tests. So he sent me to the Hospital for a spray for the asthma instead as he did not have one at hand. A chemist that knew what he was talking about not like now.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I understand that it helped him but at the time you did not know that so it was a very bad memory for you. I can understand that. There were times I felt I lived at the doctor's office because I was there so much. Thanks. I bet it was terrifying for him to get stung not once but more by them. I try to keep my distance from bees these days because I personally do not like them. That is so sad that grown men would come out with tears because it was so painful for them.

No getting stung is not fun at all but it was very lucky that the stings did not go in.

She would not let me in no not at all and I could hear the heart wrenching cries. Something that you don´t forget in a hurry. Its the way they are here but they are improving.

I was really upset but they take it as a matter of fact all the time. In the end they started doing the allergy tests on the front of the inner wrist instead of needles in the spine.

@Nakitakona Only too right on that one.

Sometimes we are not given a choice as to how to react in such situations like that one for me two days ago. Then you calm down after and are able to think more clearly.

@lovinangelsinstead21 In everything there's always a time or a season.
