Hello! So, last week a crazy thing happened! I was playing soccer in our yard when I got stung twice by a yellow jacket. At first it was no big deal. Seriously, the first sting didn’t even hurt!
But then it stung me again, and that really hurt!! I went into the house put ice on it. It started swelling immediately and literally not even 5 minutes after, I started breaking out in hives. From there it just got worse and worse. It spread everywhere!! I was having trouble breathing and speaking, my face was turning bright red, I was getting badly swollen, and my pulse was racing!! I was feeling so lightheaded, too! Anyway, both cars were gone, so we had to call our neighbors over for help.
They drove me and my sister to the ER…one bad car ride, that is for sure! Upon entry, I had to wear a mask. I put it on but couldn’t breath due to the respiratory problems AND my claustrophobia!! My sister told the receptionist that I was having trouble breathing, but he didn’t care. Rude! Anyway, I was starting to feel REALLY whoozy, and not soon after I vomited several times. The nurses and doctor got me some meds and after all of that and I began to feel better. I then went home and began to identify the insect I was SO “mildly” allergic to!! A yellow jacket. Next course of action: find the nest and get rid of it!
Moral of the story: be careful people! Now not a whole lot of people are necessarily that allergic to them…but still, keep an eye out! Seriously, it was not fun!
ANYWAY…..

It wasn’t that bad because I was aware of the severity of my situation until the doctors told me that I need to be more careful because I was like 20 minutes away from not being able to be breath! So, then I was like…okay, I need to never get stung by a yellow jacket again! Haha!
Nope! Never! 😉😂
