Quote HistoryQuoted: Yellow jacket is the worst I've had. We have some velvet ants here, even put it on my hand to take a picture and ask my pest control brother what it was. He told me not to do that again.  I got into a yellow jacket nest deep in the woods as a kid, had over 100 stings, it sucked bad. |

Got bit by some kind of spider on my right thigh while at MCT after boot camp. Went to see the Corpsman and he said to let him see it. So I unbuckled my trousers and showed him the bite. It was swole up to the size of a lemon, but it didn't really hurt. He said yep, a spider bit you and then he walked away.

I've only seen a velvet ant once in my life and no, it didn't sting me.
Just was walking along the pavement. They are apparently some kind of a wasp not an ant. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Mojave Rattlesnake is venomous. Its venom is a neurotoxin. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: That's because snakes are venomous. Technically you can get bit by a poisonous snake. It just won't hurt you as it's not venomous. No snake is both venomous and poisonous that I'm aware of. But the garter snake is poisonous due to the toxins it absorbs from its prey. The Mojave Rattlesnake is venomous. Its venom is a neurotoxin. Right. But if you eat it you won't die, so it's not poisonous. |

5th grade, kids were throwing a dodge ball at a wasp nest up on the eaves of one of the portable classrooms. AKA, mobile home. I had no idea they were doing this, just saw a ball no one was using and went after it. All of a sudden everyone was yelling at me at the same time I got hit on the head by three wasps at the same time. Yea, that sucked.
Occasional yellow jacket sting too. Got close to a rattle snake when I was a kid, but heard it's rattle in time to GTFO. We all ran for the BB guns and massacred his ass. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fire ants - dozens on my ankle. Was playing golf and standing next to a tree in the rough waiting for a guy to play his shot before I went to my ball just on the right side of the fairway. Drank a lot of brews that day. Was feeling good. And then I felt a tickle on my ankle. Looked down and I was standing on a fire ant mound. I ran into the fairway and took my shoes and socks off. Playing partners thought I went crazy. Ankle swelled big time, probably 15-20 bites. It throbbed all night. Fire ants are similar to yellow jackets in that getting stung only by one is a rarity. I did find out that regular toothpaste takes the sting out of a fire ant bite pretty much immediately and the resulting blister is smaller if you apply it quickly enough. |

A girl I went to high school with lost her father about five years ago to yellow jackets. He only had one leg and his crutch went through grass and into a nest. He was able to get up and try to get away but never made it to his house. He had over two hundred stings. Horrible way to go. |

Been stung and bitten by plenty of stuff (FL)
The one that stands out didn’t really even hurt that much. Got hit by a small wasp right in the septum. For the next 4 hours my nose felt like I was right on the very edge of sneezing, but the relief of actually sneezing never materialized. Temporary pain is easy to cope with, but this was a whole different level of torture. |

Stung dead center in the chest by a wasp. Never been stung by anything before that and started to swell up real bad so wife took me to urgent care in case I was allergic. Walk into urgent care clutching my chest, nurse things I am having a heart attack, she is about to ship me off to ER and told her "No... wasp sting" ... they get me in, doc gives me a shot in the ass of something... Now I walk out into the waiting room clutching my chest AND my ass!
Wife is laughing at me. |

Oooh this one was weird.
Had a training meeting weekend in Scottsdale AZ. Sunday morning I wake up and get ready for my drive home. I notice my leg has a 5" numb area. I thought I slept on it wrong and it should be fine in a few minutes... nothing. Maybe in an hour? Nope. OK should be fine by the time I get home... Nope, still numb. I draw a line around the numb area and see what it will do. Next morning I notice it is getting smaller... each day getting smaller so I dont worry. Fast forward a few years and I am telling my friend who is from Arizona the story and she says "Oh you got stung by a scorpion" Me:  I said "I thought they were supposed to be painful" she said "When it happened to me I felt as if I stepped on a sharp piece of glass only for a second and then my foot was numb for a few days but it went away. You probably just slept through the sting and woke up with the numbness" Seriously? Fuck scorpions AND spiders. |

3 sheets to the wind, hooking up a winch cable.
Had to push through a lot of vines & brush to hook up on the tree. It was dark, and I thought it was just thorns & pokey stuff, so don’t be a little bitch and just get ‘er done; but I eventually came to the realization that I had kneeled down in a fire ant mound.  Attached File Attached File |

Recluse (docs thought) bit me on the hip in my sleep staying at a hotel. Woke up with what looked like a zit on my hip that wouldnt pop. Thought, who the hell gets a zit on their hip. A day or two later i couldnt walk.
Wound up in the ER getting it cut open, drained, packed, IV antibiotics, body almost went septic. Was a generally awful experience. Tried to go to the base doctor the day after and he was like eh, looks fine to me . Month later the AF tried to send me a $25K bill saying it wasnt a legit ER usage.

Raccoon bit me right in the fleshy part of the hand. Hurt like hell, but the worse part was my mother (a nurse) calling the doctor to see if I needed the rabies shots (I didn't, thankfully!).
Worse bite had to be a horse fly - they will literally remove flesh if they can, the assholes. A few years back, a bee flew in my eye, and it less than two minutes, it looked like I had gone ten rounds with Muhammad Ali. That sucked.

Not an unusual one, but used to have an old Honda in my driveway just sitting there. Finally got around to working on it. I knew some yellow jackets built a nest between the drivers door and fender. Didn't notice the one on the passenger side. One flew up my shorts stinging all the way.
Another time I was going to bed. Felt a sharp pain on my arm. One of these was waiting under my pillow  Attached FileDidn't know what the hell it was. Turns out it was a snake fly larvae. |

I got into a bunch of fire ants and had about 50 bites on one arm all the way up to my armpit. Like you I thought it was pine needles or something at first, I was turning my compost pile and reached in to see if it was producing heat yet - it was but not the kind I expected. I've been bitten and stung by most of the things mentioned already but the worst, most annoying bug that ever got me was some sort of fly in Africa. While riding in the back of a safari truck the little bastards would draft behind me and fly up to take a bite out of any exposed skin, it was usually the back of my arm and elbow. I tried all sorts of repellents but nothing phased them, my arm had blood tracks after a day in the bush. Long sleeves for me after that day. |

About 5 year old me, playing in the yard of a family friend the parents were visiting. Running around having fun. Run around the back of the garage and suddenly the right side of my neck feels like its on fire.
Go screaming into the house. Big lump on the side of my neck with a visible needle like hole in the middle. The family friend pipes up "Did you go behind the garage? Don't go back there. There is a big hornet nest back there " Gee, thanks for the heads up Cleetus. |
