Terrible insects attacked you ever?

So, in light of the silverfish thread, the giant waterbug thread, and how to handle a wasp nest thread, and reading that sween fell from his perch after being attacked by hornets, does anyone have any nasty insect attack stories?I got bit on my forearm by a brown recluse once, but didn't know it. At first it looked like a mosquito bite and it was itchy. The next morning my entire left arm was swollen to about three times its size. I went to the ER, they said nothing was wrong. I went back because it got more swollen and they still said nothing was wrong. I went back a third time when I started getting red streaks (sure sign of blood poisoning) and they freaked out and threw me on emergency I.V. antibiotics.

    that sucks. Never got really bitten or hurt by an insect, but i have these lame stories.

    I once was throwing rocks at some trash, like busted ass tvs and assorted crap, when we were hiking and a black wasp came right out and stung me right in the eyelid. I had that shit hanging out my eye for like 2 hours hiking back to the car. Thank god my eye closed though or i would be looking like a pirate through high school.

    Also went off a rope swing into a creak by my house back when i was a kid in jersey. Came out covered in leeches. Not really painful as disgusting. Those things are vial little fuckers. Had to burn a few off of me which was pretty grimey.

    Gnarly. I also got stung in the eye by a wasp once. I was fourteen. I just started bawling immediately cause I was convinced I would go blind.

    Once right after I had moved into this house I had to sleep int he closet cause my room was just filled with unarranged stuff. I woke up int he morning and thought I had pink eye cause my eye felt like it owuldn't open. I quick trip to the mirror revealed that the right half of my face was wollen up on some veruca salt shit. My eye could barely open. I go back to the closet where I was sleeping and discover fire ants all over my pillow. No fun. And it was the first day of a new semester. Ballin on some half japanese nonsense.

    I stepped on a beehive once when I was a
    kid, and was swarmed and stung over 30 times.

    My Mom always talks about how she saw me running
    down the street towards the house and she thought I
    was laughing until I got closer and she realized I was
    screaming, and could see the bees swarming all around me.

    They had to fill a bathtub quick and throw me in it - I
    was only around 7 or 8 but I can remember most of it, like all the
    dead bees floating around me in the tub, and my Dad bringing
    me a pile of comic books and a chocolate frappe while I
    was recovering ...

    I had the same thing happen. I got fucked up too. We were living next to a farm and the farmer made me lay in a puddle of mud. It helped but I was still in a lot of pain.

  • Yeah, at the Battle of Klendathu, but I don't really want to talk about it.
