Re: [MBZ] OT got nailed by a hornet or bee or something this afternoon
Owie! No fun. Strong work on the fridge though. I hauled a large washer machine in mine, the poodles were not particularly happy they had to share the back with it but they endured. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Aug 8, 2021, at 6:52 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2021-08-07 20:49, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: >> No fun!

Usually they're not that aggressive. Later saw them congregating in the driver's door mirror. Car's been parked since June, when my mom got a new fridge and I had the delivery guys stick the old on in my car. Yes, you can put a 26 cu ft LG fridge in a W163. No, there is not room for the thighs of a 5'9" male between the driver's seat and the dashboard after running the seat forward enough to put a large fridge in the back. It was fun driving home from mom's house that day. If my shoulder ever stops hurting, I need to clean out the garage and put my new fridge in there. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

The sting venom is acidic, you can use ammonia or a paste of water and baking soda to help get some relief. If you have an mild allergic reaction, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can help, if you have a severe reaction you need to be carrying an epi pen.

No fun! Amazing how those insects figure out what the threat is and attack it. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 7, 2021 at 8:39 PM Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I was going up the driveway in my truck and realized I had forgotten > something so turned around and went in the woods a bit to do so.

[MBZ] OT got nailed by a hornet or bee or something this afternoon
I was going up the driveway in my truck and realized I had forgotten something so turned around and went in the woods a bit to do so. I must have stirred up a nest or something because one or two of those buggers flew in the window and one got me on the side of the head. I swatted at another one and got it out. It hurt and burned like hell and is still hurting although it is not very swollen or anything. Luckily I am not allergic but I was thinking about what to do if I had a reaction. There’s an ambulance station just up the road a bit I guess they would have epinephrine if I needed it but thankfully not. I am applying ethanol internally at the moment. Might need 2 treatments. --FT Sent from iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
