Bummer....riding scooter just now and a bee/wasp flew up under my face shield and stung me right below my eye. Hurts like a . Luckily I think the bottom rim of my eyeglasses stopped his upward movement. Talk about your panic stop from 45 mph!  |

So far, Dr. Donna has prescribed antibiotic ointment, vinegar, ice, Tylenol and kisses. I supplemented with Crown Royal .

A slab of bacon, that's what my southern nanny used to put on our bee stings. After all, bacon makes everything better!

I've gotten whacked in the face by a beetle or 2, but not stung (yet)...  |

Canadian Rye works however a little Royal Salute - 62 Gun Salute would do nicer. Royal Salute 38 Year Old - Stone of Destiny though would be more economical at just 1/4 the cost of the 62 Gun Salute or about $600 a fifth. You gotta aim high. I have only had the 21 year old Royal Salute but I can dream. Feel your pain and am thankful you kept it vertical. |

Ouch indeed! I guess that comes under the heading of "doo-doo occurs"... LOL!  Have a bone!I've had two such adventures during my 55+ years of riding. Once, when I rode my pal's new Ducati Darmah in the seventies when I yawned and a wasp went into my open pie-hole. I didn't know what it was, and involuntarily swallowed and he stung me in my throat! It swelled up and nearly choked me to death... then, a year later on a dark night while on my old Harley chopper, SOMETHING hit me in the face HARD. I was really moving on the freeway, well over ninety and I ALMOST went off the Hog backwards. I was woozy, and "limped in" to a Fred Harvey oasis where I headed for the men's room. By the looks on the patrons' faces, I figured I must be nearly dead... LOL. In the mirror, I was horrified to see my face covered in blood and shredded tissue... and FEATHERS. Yup, I had collided with a BIRD. Dead-center in the forehead. Poor Tweety-Pie literally EXPLODED upon impact and most of the blood was not mine. Next day, I was PURPLE from my forehead to my neck... Some years later, there was an incident with a skunk (thankfully skunks do NOT fly) but THAT'S another story... LOLOLOL!  Heal fast, ride safe... Leo in Texas |

Always wear full face with chin and neck curtains since I rode through a swarm of lovebugs at 65 mph. Was so bad I wanted to strip naked and chuck everything I was wearing into the trash since I was soaked through to the skin. I also started wearing racers gloves with carbon fiber knuckle guards after that since the bugs stung like pea-stones when they hit. Had red welts all over for several days after that event. Only buy riding jackets with cinches on the wrists and waist to keep things from flying up the sleeves, etc. If riding a cruiser with feet forward I will use tent bungees to keep the pants cuffs closed. |
