watch out for stinging bugs...

Ice, ice, ice. Really, it helps.

Make sure all the stingers are out (butt, too!). I had one in my breast once for about a week, because I wasn't 100% sure it was still in there, and I was too shy to have anyone check for me. It itched the whole time. Finally it came out on its own, completely shrivelled up, depleted of all poison

This time of year the wasps are more aggressive because of depleting food supplies. I found that riding at the crack of dawn and evening, when the temps are cooler, was the time to avoid these incidents.

Sun - Yes, little Lucie was stung!!! I was swatting her and myself at the same time...her little snout swelled up just like mine She is doing well today, she sits at home with her daddy in his home-office so she is being watched!!!

Red - these were yellow jackets which do not leave their stingers...they can keep stinging and stinging!!!

Will you give Lucie a kiss on her nose and tell her what a brave girl she is? For me?
