After a very bad yesterday evening/night i decided to have a better saturday, had to run to lowes to pickup some sawzall blades, decided to take the long scenic route on my freshly cleaned up bike. Going through town there's a van full of little kids and this gorgeous black lab thats hanging out the window, well we get to a stop light and i get over to the left, take my glove off and pet the dog, kids and the mom get a kick out of that, so continue on my way having a good old time, get out to the scenic route which is 2 lanes in the middle of nowhere, see this bird coming up next to me and was able to reach out and touch it(have been very close many times but never actually touched one while flying)
Anyway about 3 miles from home i decide to get on it, bring her up to about 70 and see this bumble bee heading right for me, kinda duck down a bit and bam hits me right in the side of the neck, most of us know what good size bees feel like at speed, didnt think much of it until i start getting this sharp "stinging" feeling in neck, and it hurts pretty bad, since i've never been stung by a bee i just shrugged it off as im gonna have one hell of a welt where it hit. Turn the corner into the neighborhood and its hurtin bad, reach my hand up pull my vest over thinking it was rubbing and feel the bee. So get home, look in the mirror of the truck(neighbors must be wondering cause i pull into the driveway jump off the bike and start looking in the mirror of my truck) and pull the stinger out of my neck.
Not quite sure of what to do or how to treat it since i've never been stung i call my mom(who is deathly allergic to bees) basically just tells me to watch it and make sure the stingers out and if i start feeling weird to get to the hospital. well 13 hours later still got a slight bump and its sore if i touch it, but im still alive so i think we're good!!
I've taken tons of bee hits while riding never had one sting me though.
