Yesterday Gary decided he wanted to go hunting and convinced Adrian and I to go along with him. Adrian has been asking about shooting some of Gary's guns and was told that if he went with us he could try shooting them. After driving about an hour and half we pulled over to do some shooting - Gary was shooting off the different guns so that Adrian could see how much they kick, how loud they would be, etc. Just a minute or two into this Adrian comes over and says "Mom something just bit me on my boob. Ouch there it goes again! " He then pulled out the collar of his shirt so we could see what was in there and... You guessed it! It was a big wasp. He then proceeds to rip his shirt off over his head screaming and begins to run around the truck screaming at the top of his lungs. We're guessing he made it around the truck two or three times before I could grab him and put him inside to see the stings. It turns out the wasp got him 3 times beginning on the outside of his armpit and going at a diagonal under the armpit on his side. There may have been a 4th one but it didn't swell up or raise up as much as the other three.
It took him quite a while to settle down and thankfully Gary had his first aid kit so we wiped a sting wipe over the bites and it seemed to help. We figure that the wasp must have flown into the sleeve of his shirt while he had his fingers in his ears when Gary was shooting the guns.
Adrian has been bitten/stung by wasps so many times. Last night we counted 3 or 4 other times that a wasp has gotten him. One of those times he was stung twice.
We never did see any deer and decided that Adrian was the most action we were going to see all night with all the running around the truck he did. We laugh now but yesterday it wasn't that funny.
