My worst sting was a bull-ant. Not a horror story, really, I've generally been pretty lucky in these matters.
Slap my hand now!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heh. ita, they just busted a guy on L&O because he pronounced the letter t like a t, instead of a d.

I've had a spider bite that was pretty bad (on the face, no less), but all I can remember being stung by are wasps. Those didn't hurt all that much, not really worse than a minor burn or stubbed toe. It did get a reaction other than my dad's usual "stop being a baby and whining about it" since it was something that could have put him in the ground, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
My worst sting was a regular bee. What made it the worst was where I was stung- under the eyebrow. Yep, my eye puffed up something fierce, and my mom tried to get me to wear an eye patch.(Which i did for a few dys, but decided it looked dumb and stopped. Hey, I was in 5th grade at the time...)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
and my mom tried to get me to wear an eye patch
Arrr!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've been stung by bees, wasps and hornets and gotten some painful spider bites.
Worst was a man-o-war, though, when I was skin diving at Sea Camp. It was like several long strands of bee stings on the inside of my thighs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've been stung by man o' wars, and a harvester ant -- the latter of which was like having the tip of a red-hot blunt wire stabbed into your skin.
Speaking of scorpions -- they were blacklighting them at the Desert Museum last night, and finding plenty in the cracks in the stone walls. The American Southwest common varieties light up a bright yellow/slightly green which stands out against the background as if it were glowing.
Some had tiny baby scorpions on their backs. Aaaaawwwwwwww!

Probably for a meal. Eat a peach. Or a small bowl of ice cream or a couple crackers with cheese.
