Don’t forget to keep your drink covered!

Stupid yellow jackets out in force as I’m cleaning fish. Ask Slab, he witnessed me taking one to the upper lip 7-8 years ago at Enid. I promise you, it will make you lose your vision for awhile

Many, many years ago, in late October I drank a yellow jacket in the last drink of a beer. It stung me in the back of the throat on it's way down, where it didn't stay long. It was a Saturday and a couple of my buddies was at my house, one of them called a local doctor who met us at his office. I laid down in the back seat while they drove, by the time we got to the Dr's office I could barely breathe. It was like trying to breathe through a mixing straw they used in mixed drinks in bars. When we got there the Dr had a shot drawn up and everything to perform a tracheostomy, luckily, he didn't have to do it. After the shot I laid still and breathed as well as I could. After what seemed like an eternity, I could feel the constriction in my throat slowly lessening and my breaths came easier. When I could talk the doctor asked me if I was allergic to be stings, no, he said well you will be now and the older you get the worse it will get. He was right I have Benadryl in my vehicles, shop, the house and take it with me on trips, so far, I haven't needed an epi pin. I honestly believe if I was the type of person who panics I wouldn't have survived the ride to the doctor's office. Yellow jackets in you drink can lead to a very serious situation.

Dang scary story. Really going to pay attention to mine as well as my family’s drinks now. Glad you made it through and stayed calm.
