Following TheClaud's thread wasp venom has been added to the list of banned performance enhancing drugs.

I was stung five times by a wasp on the way home this evening - it was evidently perturbed to to find itself on the inside of my merino base-layer. I am a little aggrieved by this, having defended the rights of wasps on the recent thread about dastardly ways to do them in. Clearly, if there is a God, he has a warped sense of humour. The wasp was released, I think unharmed, and I narrowly avoided careering into the sea, as well as embarrassingly divesting myself of clothing in rush hour on the Mumbles seafront. But I digress - my point is that, twenty minutes later, after stopping to chat to someone, I was rocketing up hills I usually dawdle up, and wondering why anyone bothers which such things as gears. It might be all in my head, of course, but I'm sure it's the wasp stings. I still feel a bit odd. Does anyone know what's in a sting, and can you buy it in a bottle?

The best way to deal with wasps is to keep them away from you in the first place with a wasp trap. Take a coffee jar and put about two inches of water in the bottom. Stir one teaspoon of honey into the water. The wasps go in, fall into the water and can't get out again. Obviously in your case you just need to find a coffee jar that fits in one of your bottle cages. Given that you might not want wasps zooming between your knees into the jar, it might be an idea to put the jar on top of your luggage rack or on the back of your saddle if you have a road bike. Problem solved.

He does indeed.

I spent all summer carefully helping the stripey little sods out of the window - sometimes 9 or 10 in a day.(fruit trees), and thought that I'd stored up enough good karma to see me safely into the autumn. Ha! Like hell!

I was in the bathroom one evening wearing my oldest ripped jeans when I saw a wasp fly straight in through the thigh hole. I stood for a second hoping against hope that it would just hit my leg and fly straight out again.

It didnt.
So like the oasis of calm which I generally am, I started screaming and panicking, trying to get out of my jeans as fast as I could.. my poor lad who is 14 came to my assistance and did his best, but frankly what 14 year old wants to be anywhere near his mother as she's frantically stripping?

Somehow got out of my jeans unscathed, and gingerly bent over to pick them up. As I did so, it stung me about a million times (poss exaggeration, but it went on forever...) right on the base of my spine.
The little sod had flown straight up the back of my t shirt as I was exiting my jeans...

I've been stung before, but never like that. It lasted a week, ffs! Great big red patch about 7 cms across...


However I'm glad to report that that particular wasp won't be stinging anyone ever again. Nor will any of the others I've mercilessly slaughtered since.

Karma? What b*llox.
