Well I am now back from my holiday in France where I swam with wasps in the swimming pool and had a great time! Well, what excitement. One of us has been...
Hey David! We missed you! I kinda figured you must be on vacation. I'm thinking, several of our bee friends are also out and about 'enjoying' their summer! ...
Thanks Robyn - yes I just sloped away for a break! All this weeding puts me to shame I am afraid - you have inspired me to get out there and did out those...
Hi David, Glad you are back from your vacation. Sounds like you had a good time. I listened to the radio show through the link that you provided. You did a...
Thanks for that Doug - I also don't think I will be a convincing Americal with my English accent either! As you know it was only very recently that I figured...
Hi David, This doctor was very "assembly line" oriented. Once I spoke with him I was directed to another room where I spoke with a woman briefly who then took...
Just to say yesterday was my first sting anniversary!! I'm glad it's over, felt like a bit of a milestone - for some strange reason important and symbolic to...
Happy Anniversary Annie! It is funny but my sting anniversary date is the 31st January when I had my "big one" - it is more etched in my brain than my wedding ...
Hi My name is Jan and I had an allergic reaction to a wasp sting two weeks ago today. It was not an immediate reaction but the sting site swelled and I got a...
How cool to hear you on the radio ! I still think there ought to be a Dr. out there somewhere interested enough to just even look at this web site to see what...
Hi Annie, I sure is one spooky month for a lot of us. My anniversary is the 24th. Never to forget that day !. Glad you're doing OK Always good to hear from...
Hi Jan and welcome. It's not strange to think "they" are after you. We've discussed that a few times. If you didn't have an anaphylactic episode what made you...
You certainly did have a rough time of it Jan - I think you are from the UK and if so there is definitely an epidemic of wasps at the moment. We are now...
Hello Annie, I know what you mean. I see symbolism also. I just had my one year on last Wednesday. Take Care, Sarah ... From: Annie Elias To: sting group Sent:...
Hello, I could not get the show to play. I kept getting an error message everytime I downloaded it. I will try on my laptop later. I am looking forward to...
Just quickly as I am on the way out. I live near to addenbrookes and when I mentioned desensitisation the doctor said that it was 'pretty hairy', and that we...
... We sat out on our terrace with my brother and his wife last evening and killed at least a dozen of the b******!! Three of them in my wine which I then had...
Hi Annie, Thankfully all those stings didn't cause any serious reactions other than Fran's local reaction. Good thing you didn't drink the wine. It quite...
Annie, That is so scary to think so many people close to you got stung in such a short time. You be careful!! I am interested in knowing about that if they get...
Hi Doug, so glad you haven't been troubled too much by all that adverse weather!! Not the best of luck with the wasps nest though, that would totally,...
Hi Annie, I was on the cordless phone with my brother when I was pulling the drip edge off and I checked with him just now. He said that all I said was "Oops,...
Hi I was stung by a wasp for the second time three weeks ago (I'm still counting), and then two days later, a wasp sat on my arm. I think it had either just...
Hi everyone and thank you for your very useful site. A couple of summers ago, while running in the countryside, I ended up close to a wasp nest. Few wasps...

Hey Franny Wow! Bless Your Heart! Lots of us here, have fears of wasps. Mostly because we've been stung by them or other vespids, and had very serious life...
Thought y'all might be intersted in this................ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3554726.stm Annie :o) ... Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. ...
Hey Annie Thanks for the link. The picture of the wasp in those BBC reports , looks like what we in the US call a yellowjacket! Is that the same kind of...
Hi Monica, Good question - do multiple stings make allergy development more likely? I think that the general rule is that it is the frequency of stinging that...
We all hate the wasps here so you are in good company! Most here hate wasps because they can really damage us physically but we know what it is like to jump...
Doug, You would have the same response in the UK - unless you have a history of some form of anaphylactic response there is no chance of getting the treatment...
