Why does that weird you out, Cashmere?
Probably because she is a prim and proper Morman and my online personality is a tad more...salty. That and I had sex with her teenage son (which, I'm hoping she doesn't know).
I knew my past would catch up with me.

Oh, that. Yeah, that would weird me out. But my attitude might not be the best.
I was stung in the foot twice one summer and the doctor told my mother that one more could kill me. Apparently the venom is worse that a rattle snakes and can stay in your body if you are sensitive to it and it can build up or lower your resistance to it or something.
I was a little unclear on the details as I was about 8 at the time and all I knew was that my instep swelled so much that it was domed outward as much as it should have been arched inward.
I haven't been stung since, but I have always wondered if I am still under a death sentence.

Ahh. That's different.
Ive never been stung either.
Cash, I think it'll be fine, unless of course you've been carrying a torch all these years and posting about it on FB.
I got stung so much as a kid I lost count. I know the first time was a bee and it was between my toes. Last stinging incident involved sitting on a bunch of justifiably angry red ants and was probably ten years ago.(knock wood)
I was stung at least once a summer for much of my child hood. I don't remember when it stopped.
I've been stung an undetermined number of times, plus bitten by ants and spiders. I just saw a show (1000 Ways To Die--TiVo grabbed for me, it wasn't my idea) that cited the mosquito as the most deadly insect, killing 2 million a year, but that's totally cheating, since I bet few people die from the bite itself, but rather the transmitted disease. Not to mention how many millions get bitten every year and don't die--I'd rather gamble on a mosquito bite than a black widow, which only kills 2 people in the US a year.
Thanks for the link, Hec. I feel somehow about it, as we say out here. I think it's hard to capture what's going on.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned here before that I had over 20 yellowjackets stings from one incident - it did very little to me. But, I've been stung 5 times by scorpions and each of those got progressively worse.
