So, I'm a good sister, and I go and check on Sara's apartment while she's in India. Which is great and all. Today, I stop and get Taco Bell for lunch, and basically skip up the steps to her apartment without a care in the world. I put the key in the door, push it open when something goes down my shirt. I of course FREAK out and pull at my shirt. Next thing I k
now I feel a pinch and a WASP falls on the floor of the apartment! I run out of the apartment screaming like a girl (I know I'm a girl, but comeon...). I'm lifting up my shirt so I can see where on my stomach it stung me, when all of a sudden I hear someone ask if I'm ok. Its the downstairs neighbor looking at me like I'm psycho. I tell him what happens, and he's no real help. So, I call my mom, she doesn't answer. So I call my dad, hoping that he answers all the while swearing because it stings SO BAD and is swelling! Dad answers, thank goodness, and asks how long ago it happened. I said, "I don't know, a couple minutes" and he goes "ok good, you didn't go into anaphylactic shock." Nope, I'm still alive, but hurting like hell. So he decides to try and call my mother. I tell him that I've already called her and she didn't answer, but its my dad, so he doesn't really listen to me and tries to call her again. It went to voicemail. Shocking dad...really. So, he goes to the internet while I decide to put ice on it. The only remedy we could find online was to put ice on it! True story. So, I guess I had a good idea when I pulled out the ice. And, I guess I'm not allergic to wasps, because you can barely see where I was stung unless you know where to look. Needless to say, I got wasp spray and doused the nest with it before knocking the nest off the door. I don't want anymore encounters with those pesky creatures.

I find they hurt like hell but I don't have any after effects. I just rub in some tea tree oil and everything is fine.
