That fact should read face. 

Oh no, that's horrible! I hope you feel better tomorrow. Every dang year I run over an underground bee hive. This year, I saw the swarm coming and I've never ran so fast in my adult life. For some reason they always get me on my butt! Cold packs help if you got one. 

Ouch. Hope you get feeling better.  

Oh, that sounds terrible 😦 Thank goodness you already eat an anti inflammatory diet. Mend well!  

Oh dear! I hope you feel better soon! 

Oh no! That many stings can be dangerous. Take care of yourself! 

Ouch! You've been having a rough time of it lately. Hope you feel better very soon.  

That is awful! Hope you will be all right in no time and that it does not hurt very much. :) 

Thanks everyone. I'm all swollen- look like an ogre! I'll hide out tomorrow! 

Oh, man! So sorry to hear about that! 

Just seeing this. I hope you are feeling better. Take good care of yourself. 

OHG , sure glad you are not allergic. ouch 

OMG! So glad you are okay! 

Glad you survived to share the tail. I'm deathly allergic and thankfully have not had the misfortune of being stung in many years. A paste comprised of water and baking soda is how my Mom used to treat my stings. (We were raised in a religion that didn't believe in Dr's or medicine.) Recovery for me was sometimes several painful weeks in bed. 

oh dear! I would take a antihistamine. Certainly, I would recommend the same to friends and family. But if the face, throat, neck, mouth swells -- get off to emerge! 

My husband is a bee keeper. We have 6 hives on our property. Honey bees are not as aggressive as yellow jackets. I get my share of stings though. No allergies just soreness. Ice works for me.
