Where Small Bugs Hit You When Cycling

[meganm]

I got one down my cleavage once I think that was worse than in the mouth!

Yup. If my jersey is unzipped or I have on a tank top on a ride, I think sometimes my bra is a collection scoop for bugs.

Oh Sarah!! How terrible to be stung in the mouth. I hope this isn't recent.

Wish you a speedy recovery if the bee sting is recent.

A bee flew into my helmet through the vent. Luckily, I have hair and normally wear a skull cap. Still, made an emergency stop popped off my helmet and ripped off my skull cap. I don't want a bee sting on my head or anywhere on me!

Eating bugs is not my favorite things.

Thanks for the well wishes. It happened at the end of last year. First day wasn't so bad but when I woke up the next morning the swelling was so much worse I actually went to the doctor and they gave me steroids. It took over a week to go away. He flew in my mouth, I spat him out, but the stinger had lodged in my cheek and I had to pull it out.

I try to be better about keeping my mouth closed on descents.
