I have maybe like once or twice but that's it. I think I'm allergic to bee stings. The time(s) I HAVE been stung were really bad experiences. When I get stung, that part of my body instantly swells up like a balloon. Thankfully, I haven't been stung in a long time. I've been really careful around bees lately. Both times I was stung, I was still just a little kid.
But I have a story to tell about my brother, something I'll never forget. My family went to a 4th of July picnic one time at a lake. Our car was parked on top of a railroad tie on a hill above the lake. We started down this hill, but my mom said she had forgotten something in the trunk. She sent my brother to go get whatever it was. I just mind my own business, and keep walking down this hill. All of a sudden, I hear screaming. I turn around and my brother is running around in circles, covering his head, and crying. I see this group of bees all over him. I felt helpless, I mean I couldn't do anything to help him. The bees finally stopped chasing him when he finally ran into the lake, but the damage was already done. For about the next week, he looked like a China man. His face was so swelled up that he could barely see out of his eyes.
I'll never forget that for as long as I live.
