This will stop anything else (mosquitos, bees, further wasps) from stinging you in the same place, which I imagine would be excruciating.Antonia Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754292976861979028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883290.post-57305194477128720352007-09-10T20:11:00.000+01:002007-09-10T20:11:00.000+01:00Our garden has been unusually busy with wasps over...Our garden has been unusually busy with wasps over the last few weeks, so I have been unusually busy killing them.<BR/><BR/>I am particularly proud of the way I killed the wasp that was sniffing a jam-jar lid. I set fire to its arse with a cigarette lighter, and, while it was rolling around going "Oh! My arse!" in wasp, I took off my flipflop and smacked it into oblivion.Antonia Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754292976861979028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883290.post-39731548097207995642007-09-10T19:12:00.000+01:002007-09-10T19:12:00.000+01:00So is there something one is supposed to put on wa...So is there something one is supposed to put on wasp stings?

Now I will have thoughts of being stung as well.<BR/><BR/>As it happens I stung myself recently. I was lazily, and without concern, shooing away a wasp and somehow contrived to get it trapped between two fingers, thus stinging my own finger!
