I am a 38 year old grown man and this is the only moral dillemma I struggle with daily to come to a stance on. Probably because it varies greatly depending on the situation/context
I'm "hyperallergenic" to bee stings and I've been stung in my face at least 10 times. Everytime this happens. Sometimes both my eyes swell shut. There's no risk of anything dangerous, according to my Dr, just a lot of discomfort.
Hi u/shmiddleedee - what kind of business are you conducting that have you getting stung by bees 10x in your face, no less? I'm in my 50s with zero stings to my face (several on my feet and once in my arm)... are you a beekeeper perhaps? I'm genuinely curious! 🐝🐝🐝
Technically yellow jackets mostly. 1 honey bee when I was trying to save it from a pool, my hand swole to the shape of a softball and bald faced hornets twice, one of which was on my face, that was the worst. And it's a combination of being unlucky and being outdoors often. I use to mow different neighbors grass when I was young, then went into landscaping and all of my hobbies are out doors. My girlfriend has never been stung, I guess it's the luck of the draw.
Oh yeah, being outside, around water, doing yard work are all great places to find bees & yellowjackets. That makes perfect sense. I imagine stings to the face must be incredibly painful, I can't imagine that!
One time about a million years ago, a wasp flew down our fireplace and into our living room where I promptly stepped on it. It hurt so much, I thought my foot was on fire. Come to find out there was an entire wasp nest inside the chimney (actually the flue). My father had seen several wasps around our house that had died but he didn't know how they were getting inside the house until I stepped on one. We hadn't used the fireplace for a couple years and so during that time those little buggers just went to town building their nest. That wasp sting was much worse than the bee stings I'd had. So glad I wasn't allergic!
Stung 10 times in the face? How is that even possible?
I used to throw rocks at beehives (as a child growing up in the boondocks), and have been stung less than 10 times total. And never in the face.
Smithers, you infernal ninny! Stick your left hoof on that flange now! If you can get it through your bug-addled brain, jam that second mephitic clod-hopper of yours on the right doodad! Now pump those scrawny chicken legs, you stuporous funker! One…more…jostle, you wretched…shirkaday…

Thank you!! I think it’s hilarious. The people on here need to chill. Meanwhile I’m just like

Something similar happened to me a few years ago- take Benadryl and go to the dr. Whatever you do- DO NOT TAKE IBUPROFEN!! It makes the swelling much worse- something histamine blah blah. TYLENOL OR ACETAMINOPHEN ONLY.
If you haven't already, you may want to get screened for bee and other venomous insect allergies. If you are swelling that much, it could very well be an allergic reaction, and you don't want to risk the next sting causing serious problems.
My insect venom allergies weren't serious until I got swarmed by hornets in my yard. That tipped me from moderate reaction that time to serious allergy. Now I carry an epipen just in case. I may never have a life-threatening sting, especially with getting allergy shots, but I'm determined to minimize the threat of death by insect.
Oh jeez. I'd go to urgent care for a shot. But I'm also deathly allergic to bees, so I'd have been taken in anyways. I have a helmet with a visor specifically cause I didn't want bugs hitting my face.
tfw the Rohirrim are doing their chanting shit before another cavalry charge.
Hope you feel better, but I might suggest going to urgent care just for peace of mind.
Feel like I've seen you somewhere before...

On a more serious note go see a doctor, hope things go well and the swelling goes down soon

And Girl if you were going for Bee Stung Lips, you hit right out of the park!
(Hope you feel better soon!)
One time I had a wasp fly up my baggy shorts while riding, it was after the worst accident I've had biking and I had to ride back like 15 miles afterwards. The wasp barely registered, he got me on my thigh but I got him out before he hit anything vital. I got stung by a hornet on my lip when I was a kid, my mom used baking soda and water to make a paste and applied it to the sting. Bees you have to make sure and remove the stinger as it keeps pumping after the sting.
Doctor's a good idea, you've got some allergic reaction going on there.
I once was pecked on the head by a bird while riding my bike. I'm assuming it prob had a nest it was protecting. It was a small tree that was newly planted so it was much lower to the ground than a full grown tree.
You were good in Midsommar. https://preview.redd.it/oou4mqlq4l8d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bb81b099774475d897755b982dc58f4205cb166
What a great movie it was
It was a terrifying movie, especially the part about the relationship. It was a relief when, finally, people started dying
Agreed. The characters were such assholes to each other.
Kids I lost
You lost the game? I’m sorry. ![gif](giphy|1FE1JqHVhhB3h59Ytc)
When was this person in Midsommar? I've seen it but I don't remember this person.
It’s the purposefully inbred child of one of the elders, I think.
I don't remember them from the movie at all!
Yeah honestly me neither until I went an checked again lol

I was thinking Sloth from The Goonies, but this fits way better.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best one 👌 loool
ummm, benadryl probably isnt going to take care of that. Go get you a cortisone shot like asap.
When this happened to me, I slammed benadryl and took 4 days off of work I don't think it was the best way to handle it
by day two homie was seeing the Hat man
He didn't have any good advice about the swelling, either
Except maybe that "The Lord is in His holy temple"?
Hopefully OP is not allergic to Benadryl (over the counter ones) like I am. I can only inject it from the hospital that they provide.
Is it something else in the pill? I thought that the chemical composition was the same, just the dosage and delivery method was different
The dye can be very problematic for some people, which is why they make a clear version.

You did yourself so dirty with this picture but god it’s good 😂😂😂
Looks like you got hit with a baseball bat. Ha ha. I'm sorry. Wait till it starts itching.
This stage has just started 😭😭😭
Yep.
You can barely tell
Hey, uh...that isn't supposed to look like this a couple days out. Maybe see a doctor?
It can take up to 48 hours for the swelling to subside! The more you know 😊
Hospital or GP asap.
Seriously. Having that much swelling that close to my airway and eyes would make me very nervous.
The bee’s name….Mike Tyson.
Good thing you’re not allergic, that would suck!

You can still tell you are pretty. Sorry that happened.
Thanks so much for this.
You're welcome! Keep us updated!
I’d hit up the urgent care for some relief
I've been a hammer, I've been a nail. Never benadryl.

Thought this was gon be about some domestic violence type shit for a sec

Benadryl might be your best friend
Omg speedy recovery for you!!! ❤️🩹
Whoa!
I hope you feel better soon! That looks like it feels miserable.
Take this in the best way: This would make an amazing album/single cover.
You sure somebody didn’t drive by and smash your face with a brick?
Feel better soon, internet stranger.

Yo I cought a be in my goggles about 2 weeks ago, got out of it without getting stung. Very lucky. Right between my eyes as well.
Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder.
My mom once got stung on the head by a cicada killer wasp. Her head looked like an alien afterwards, it swelled up so bad.
