\u00a0\u00a0I feel like the most ferocious pain I felt when I was younger was caused by a wasp.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Hello lovelies, here\u2019s a story time and some facts about a day I felt like I was dying.<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, if you haven\u2019t experienced a wasp sting then I\u2019m really jealous of you, but then I also feel bad because the day you do get stung will be so horrible for you and like a wide awakening.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was about 7 years old and was playing with my <\/span>Monster High <\/span><\/i>dolls on the living room floor, just minding my own business. I remember making them perform a cheerleading contest (best one ever by the way) when I rolled over to get up and I ended up feeling the harshest stabbing pain in my back. It was horrid, if I can describe it to you, I would say it felt like the pain when chomp down on your teeth when they\u2019re hurting.\u00a0 The pain was all in the nerves of my back, I literally wailed like a baby.\u00a0 Then my sisters were over there panicking because they didn\u2019t see anything or know what was wrong with me, I mean, I didn\u2019t either, but they made it no better.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I could feel the bump forming in the middle of my spine almost, my sisters literally had to carry me to my mom and put ice on my back.\u00a0 They kept asking me what happened, and I kept telling them I didn\u2019t know, and I started to explain what happened when we started hearing a loud buzzing noise coming from the other room.\u00a0 My mom went to check it out and then she came back shaking her head and said: Welp, I\u2019m sorry, it looks like we have a wasp situation. That was the day I discovered the enemy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This is the John Wick of wasps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Sphecius Speciosus\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These wasps are some big wasps, they can grow to about 2 inches and they\u2019re mostly found in the Rocky Mountains. Now, I\u2019m no bug expert nor am I a big lover of bugs, but I\u2019ve learned some interesting things about these creatures, some from google and some information from YouTube. \u00a0 Google says these wasps rarely harm people unless aggravated but they usually fly away when swatted at.\u00a0 The Animalcorner.com also explains that \u201cIf handled roughly females will sting, males will jab with a sharp spine on the tip of their abdomen, and both sexes are well equipped to bite with their large jaws\u201d and after that\u2019s about it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, this Youtuber named Jordan Howlett a.k.a.<\/span>, jordan<\/em>_the_stallion8<\/i><\/span> explains that they\u2019re much more vicious than that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>He explains that from his research he learned that if you become rivals with these persistent bugs, it\u2019ll be a problem.\u00a0 The hornets can survive about 10 minutes fully submerged in water and if there\u2019s even a drop of air in that water they can survive for weeks.\u00a0 He also says they have photographic memory.\u00a0 He claims there have been stories of people seeing these bugs camp outside of their houses waiting like assassins after encountering them. \u00a0 They also allegedly report back to their colonies about any danger they come to face with, and that anger is a good thing because they\u2019re supposed to live longer when they\u2019re angry.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, but the explanation sounds very interesting.\u00a0 I mean, imagine if you were to get stung by one of these; what would you even do?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, this is the wasp that stung me:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paper wasps\u00a0<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are the average house wasps.\u00a0 \u00a0Even though their stings hurt very painfully and cause irritations and swelling, they’re mostly harmless.\u00a0 Paper wasps mostly just fly around and scrape wood from your house and outbuildings to make their nest.\u00a0 \u00a0I don’t know how one got into our house, or why it decided to sting me while I was making Clawdeen<\/em> do flips, but it made me very upset.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Ya’ll, I didn’t know where this blog was going, but thank you for trusting the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
