Stung By Bee's 2nd Time in 3 Weeks!

[Brokensignal]

I was out exploring for a possible area to do some detecting along the river and i came across a homeless camp that was deserted.I saw one of those nice GI green all weather army issue sleeping bags wasting away on the ground,so i carefully moved it due to snakes and disturbed a yellow jacket nest in the ground,but i only got stung three times.Three weeks ago i got stung twenty five times at a different location.::veryangry:I think i better wait for a good freeze to go back in the woods.

Yellow jackets are famous stingers. Once while sleeping in bed during the night one stung me right in the top lip. When I turned on the light about 2 dozen were bouncing along the ceiling.

Since I am pretty allergic to bee stings, I think I will avoid detecting anywhere near where Brokensignal is!!

Or stay out of indigent camps, at least.

A few years go I got a lingering case of poison ivy while out bottle digging. The bad thing is, it was down there in a mans "lower reaches," shall we say. I dont know which is worse, bee stings which go away, or itchy, spreading, crotch rot - which won't.

Yellow jackets are plentiful this year. I avoided a nest of them while weed-eating around a tree. Don't know why they didn't eat me up, as they were swarming all around me. Late summer is a bad time for them.

This was not a total loss exploring this area.I found what used to be a road going across the river.It was well overgrown.When i go back to this spot and hunt it i may take and post pic's.The area looked very old!.But i need to let it frost over.I think i saw a gator hole!.
