Post #2464390

I have been noticing a good many yellow jackets for the past week. While working outdoors Sunday, I had a bug bumping around my head. It didn't dawn on me till he nailed me on the forehead. Man did that hurt. We found the area they were swarming around, yes we had disturbed it. We treated it and went in to cool down and let them leave. That evening, I went out to finish up. While raking, I felt a burning sensation, inner thigh. In front of God and everybody, I dropped my drawers. I didn't see anything so pulled them up, stood up a felt it under my shirt. At least these didn't hurt as hard as the head. Today there are still many swarming. We are too dry and humid and they are busy looking for moisture. I think moisture as I saw some cat ghak on the patio that they were covering up. Be careful out there...
