when i was a young lad in Fla, a land crab came in from the backside and just nipped the back of one foot...yikes!!...i think i cleared the 7 foot high jump mark onto a picnic table...little bugger got away (rats!) otherwise he was definitely going to be part of the crab soup that day...

At my age, I think I'm one of the few people that has never had had a bee or wasp sting.

Dam sore mad
Anyway, what is the worst thing you've been stung /bitten by?


Ouch, that does hurt. White vinegar or a baking soda and water paste can help with the sting. Yeah, I know, now I tell you whoa

Not the worst, but I've been bit by a couple dogs in the past, one when I was around 10 years old, and the other when I was a teenager and was babysitting. The little girl was in the bike seat behind me when the Doberman came up to us. I got off the bike and put myself between the child and dog. The darn thing didn't bark or growl, just walked up to me, sniffed and bit my leg.

Been stung by a wasp, and I had a several deer and yellow fly bites.

The worst was when I was around 14 years old visiting my Dad in Florida. I was outside and didn't realize there was a Fire Ant hill in the cracks of the patio. I had long pants on, I so couldn't brush them off, and smacking my leg wasn't working. I panicked and took off my pants, and grabbed the water hose to rinse them off me. I ended up with about 20-30 bites that burned like crazy, but I was at least happy that no one other than my sister was around to see me with no pants on. laugh

Well, I live in the Netherlands... worst thing you can get I suppose is either a wasp (a normal one, not a king-size size wasp)
bees (no killer bees, normal bees
bumblebees
dogs
mosquitoes
hornets or horseflies (dunno the difference really)

I think that kind of sums it up?
We do have foxes in some areas, but I've only ever seen one in the UK.

I like Western Europe! Okay, I have been bitten by a dog, a cat, stung by a bumblebee, a wasp, and the occasional mosquito. They don't like me much.
I even made it through Oz without any incidents, thank goodness! Although the mosquitoes down under fancied me...

But dang the nettles in my garden. They are NASTY! You do not want to mess around with them.

Oh, I remember about 10 or 12 years ago I drove to visit my sister on the east coast. The first day there, we went for a walk in the woods. The next morning, I was siting at the table,drinking coffee and felt a bump on the bump on the back of my neck. Eventually went to my sisters' doctor and it was a deer tick, which can carry Lyme disease, so I started taking an antibiotic. A side effect of that was stay out of the sun. I got really bad sunburn, all because of a tiny bug.

Don't throw stones at a white face hornet nest, they are very accurate, ask my eyes.

Bites and stings are different "mechanism of injury," although basically still a puncture wound. Other than venomous snakes and such, bites don't usually add the problem of venom, and possible anaphylactic reaction.
I got chewed up (five stitches) by a St. Bernard when I was a kid. Everything since has been pretty tame by comparison.

The last real sting I can recall getting was in the early Eighties, when I was working the forest fire tower. I had the binoculars up to my eyes, looking for smoke, and when I lowered my arms, a wasp stung me on my left side. Apparently it had landed on me while I was distracted,and I trapped it between my arm and my upper body.

I just remembered getting two bites during my Air Force days, not counting the one Spazimodo patrol/drug detector dog, Smokey, who saw almost any moving arm as a target. I had a jacket on when he went for my arm, and his handler snubbed him up before he got a good bite. (I've "caught" a dog on a protective sleeve in training, but that doesn't really count.)
One of the on-duty bites was from a border collie that I was attempting to get out from under my patrol car. The other was from a drunk guy I was attempting to get out from under a pool table in one of the barracks.

Oh, yeah, and ticks. I haven't found any on me so far this year, but family members have discovered a few on themselves. I have to remember to spray some permethrin on me if I'm going to be doing yard work.
And I just remembered I gotta give The Mutt her monthly treatment of K9 Advantix II.

Well, maybe not THE worst but does
The Love Bug Count?

I once had a hornet fly into my sleeve while I was hanging my arm out the window. I think it had a whole lot of fun biting AND stinging me.

I used to ask people if they wanted to see where the horse bit me as I was pulling down my collar.
Then I would pinch their leg with that hand when they came close to see.

What about pecking and flogging.
I had a goose that had a serious problem with me once.

My farmer friend had a mean freakin German Sheppard and it bit me in my crotch once when I was 16.

As a lifelong mechanic I have been bitten by a gazillion car and truck doors.

I have had a few experiences being bitten in a very sensitive spot by my zipper.

I guess this is the topic that I can admit to actually biting my own mouth. My tongue hurt for days.

I once dreamed I was bitten by a panzeranian Pretensisator from planet gort. He had really little teeth but 7 mouths.

I got bit in the head by a pine 2x4, no wait, thats 'smacked' - sorry that one doesn't count.

The little neighbor girl once bit me in the middle of my back. Mom beat my butt for making her do it. I was 4, How was I supposed to know I'm not supposed to touch that?

Speaking of touching, I got bit for trying to mess with the magic behind a wall outlet.

I got bit by a wolf spider once. I fought that infection for two months before it finally went away.

I had a tic embedded in my belly button for 6 months till my Dr found it at an annual CDL physical. I thought it was a really sensitive mole? FAIL: I was married at the time.

I once had a girlfriend that chewed a wart off my wrist. Hey, it never came back and she enjoyed it.

In Sardinia I almost stuck my foot in my boot with a scorpion in it but I shook it out because my buddy did get bit that way just 5 minutes earlier, different scorpion tho, No silly, he wasn't trying to wear my boot. That's just weird.

I had a sore on my leg and went swimming in a crystal clear river at Johnson Shut-ins park in Missouri.
I felt a tugging and FISH were eating my leg. Freak me out man!
Funny thing is the sore healed right up afterward. (Itty-bitty fishies, not huge ones.)
