My best buddy got a call that his brother in law got stung by wasps in Tennessee. Evidently he was allergic to them and carried a epipen and used it but he went into a coma and died today. He lived in a rural area about 30 miles away from Chattanooga. Evidently he was on his tractor mowing his lawn, and it was a nest of black jackets in the tractor when they went after him. Even with allergies, it’s amazing that such a small insect can be lethal.

Wow!
I know about yellow jackets in the ground but now others. A hornet tagged my ear while grilling earlier this year so i killed all the nests i could find.
Sorry to hear about BiL.

My son set down a pop can and a bee flew in it. He took a drink and got stung in the throat
We saw an ambulance as we rushed him to the hospital
They had the antidote. Otherwise he may have been gone

That’s terribly sad. Bad things can happen to good people. I wonder if he knew he was allergic to wasps stings? So sad for your friends’s loss.

I was cutting a new trail on my 4 wheeler last year thru some Planted Pines and ended up on top of a Yellow jacket nest. 26 stings all over my face , Neck and arms. I had to run into a big pile of tall Dog Fennel where they can't fly and wait them out. My 4 Wheeler was sitting on top of their nest just idling away and they were going crazy attacking it. A feaking cloud of them. I had to get a real long fallen tree and hit the throttle from 15 ft. away and slowly move it foward..took a while. Went home and took 2 Oxys and started drinking..I'm still alive but then again I've a Viking...your mileage may vary weaklings

Tough news to absorb, especially when the person was in good health.
God rest his soul and prayers to the family.
