I've been stung 5 times so far. Once in the thigh, 4 times in the fingers. It initially hurts less than a wasp sting, but the wasp sting quickly wears off whereas this one will hurt worse each day, throbbing and painful all day, for @ 1 week plus. After 10-14 days, it will have eased up enough that you don't think about it. Much. It's 3-4 weeks till it's all but gone though.
I dont know about all that but you can feel tender for a few days. Btw I get stung by wasps weekly.
Last summer I was asleep in bed, when I felt something crawling on my face next to my eye. The little asshole stung me and woke me up. I grabbed it instinctively in the dark and crushed it between my fingers before throwing it to the floor. I rolled over and went back to sleep.The next morning, I saw what it was -- a wasp. Fuck all bugs with poison stingers.
Different species have differing potency. Some of the ones in Africa will kill a person or make them real sick. The ones around here are very small, less than a 1/4" inch long, and exactly the color of the rocks they live in and around. They are all but invisible unless you are looking at the exact spot they're at and they move.
