Wasp in mouth!!!

[Maye]

OMG! I always wonder what would happen if I swallow either a bee, wasp or one of those big black flying insects. Do they go straight to your throat? I'm always afraid I will choke with one of the big ones.

Two days ago I had the gourmet experience of swallowing lots of gnats

Bees and wasps (knock wood) usually avoid me. I do spend a lot of time spitting out various flying insects, and last week I had to dig a load of them out of my cleavage...

My hubby said it was a big one and the wierd thing was he could it's legs thrashing around in his mouth! Ahhhhhhh

Jeez, I'm going to have nightmares about this

[zoom-zoom]

Maybe a month ago a bee landed on my lower abdomen...as my thigh came up it got squished, pissed, and stung me.

A couple of Summers ago a bee managed to find its way into my cleavage and also got squished, pissed, and stung.

Bees are stupid.

This is seriously a case of too much information.

When I started reading this thread I was laughing but then I thought "what if......."

Now thinking if I can dangle fly papers clipped to my nostrils to avoid any insect popping into my mouth.

I've gotten lots of bugs in my mouth, especially on those spring evenings when they're so thick, but so far wasps have confined themselves to other parts of my anatomy, and a good thing!

Another very good reason to ride with a nasal strip, control my allergies better, and breathe through my nose.

My worst sting was actually on the ascending side of a steep hill. I was going very slowly, but apparently fast enough to p*ss off the honeybee I rode my thigh into. I had to dismount, get the stinger out, and start the hill again with a beesting in my quad. Ow.

Hahahahahahaaa! To funny. Or staple a screen to your mouth.

Spring near the Mississippi River means that my last couple of evening rides have involved plowing through storms of gnats, head down, mouth firmly closed, and STILL coming home with the things in my ears and nose and hair and cleavage and squished all over my sweaty skin.

On Antelope Island there are stingy gnats that my ears and neck when we stop but not while riding. It really cuts down on the rest stop time.

We have LOVE bug season here. Although they are harmless, I hate to see them all over my gloves and jersey and even in my cleavage doing their "thingy" together always in pairs . No, not over my body!!

ah yes, we call that being human fly paper.

I had a bee get into my cleavage ( that will teach me to ride with my jersey unzipped a little) crawl into my bra cup and bite me right on the nipple. I took an interesting off route detour through the long grass while trying to get the stupid thing out of my bra, the spent another half hour with the last icecube from a friends drink bottle strategically tucked while I pulled grass from the tires, crank, derailleur etc. Hurt like the dickens for a couple of days and swoll up a bit but at least the bee died!

Don't want to repeat that again!

AHHHH! And, um, I almost always ride with my jersey unzipped, sometimes almost inappropriately so! Now I'm nervous....
