Thanatos340 1 #1 July 9, 2006 OK.. So tomorrow I have to go out of town for work.. Have a Big presentation to make to a Potential New Client. Huge Contract.. 2 comma’s in the price tag. Supposed to be heading up to Close the deal. As a side Bonus to this trip.. I am Meeting this gorgeous Blonde for dinner tomorrow night.. So what happens today?? I’m outside working on m Van, Getting it ready for Rantoul.. And this fucking Yellow Jacket flys up out of nowhere and Stings me on my eye lid. Im only mildly allergic to bee stings.. Nothing but alot of cussing, swelling and the occasional muscle spasm.. That was 4 hours ago.. Now here I sit with my right eye swollen shut and the right side of my face numb. This should make a great First impression tomorrow!! I knew I should have gone jumping today. Staying home and doing stuff around the house is too dangerous!! Anyone got any great Bee Sting Cures?? (Yes, I already did the tobacco thing!! Didnt help.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MF42 0 #2 July 9, 2006 Wow that sucks. Sorry, no helpful advice here. Edited to remove lame joke that isn't funny anymore, if it ever was, because he edited away what the joke was about. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #7 July 9, 2006 QuoteHave you tried taking some benadryl? Oh yea.. been poping bennies like Pez for the past 4 hours.. And an Ice pack on the eye. Hmmm.. Maybe I could come up with some wild Story about how I got kicked in the eye trying to save some baby seals or something and the gorgeous Blonde will fall instantly madly in lust with me... Think it will work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MF42 0 #10 July 9, 2006 I think at the beginning of your presentation you should lead off with: "Please excuse my appearance; I was attacked by a cougar last night." Say it in the most deadpan, matter-of-fact manner possible and continue with your presentation, never making reference to it again. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #12 July 9, 2006 Apis Mellifica may help. Go somewhere that sells homeopathic remedies (typically a health food store) and ask them if they have it or another remedy that may be better with your symptoms. Below is a list of symptoms that could be treated with Apis Mellifica. Bee Stings: Swelling, itching, redness Insect Bites: Burning and stinging with all complaints Hives: Puffy Swelling Stinging, burning pains Urinary Problems: Painful, scanty urination Symptoms Better From... Cold applications Motion Open air Uncovering Symptoms Worse From... Heat Touch Bed is intolerable Pressure Right side Late afternoon After sleep Closed heated roomWhat do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

jumpchikk 0 #13 July 10, 2006 Okay cupcake...first off..there's no need for the apostrophe s in "Bees", secondly, if your eye is not going down with the Benadryl, you may need to go to the doc in the a.m. and get an epiniphrine injection or something else...anaphylactic shock is a baaaaad thing, mmmkay??

Thanatos340 1 #15 July 10, 2006 Quoteepinerphrine is fun for the whoooole family. OK.. Being only able to see out of one eye.. I read that as "ephedrine" so I took 4 White Crosses to add to the 3 benadryl I already took.. I now have Baking Soda TOOTH paste smeated over my Swolen Eye. I couldnt find Apis Mellifica, So I just put in some Matallica in the CD player instead and cranked it up... The swelling isnt going down.. But Damn Im getting some house work done now!!
