I am bitten about once a week
It isn`t a problem at first coz the pain is short like sb put a needle into your body and instantly retracted it.
A worse reaction comes 24 hours later - the bitten part swells and becomes horribly itchy which lasts for about 2 days. I scratch it like crazy. That is why I try to avoid such close encounters with wasps.
when I move wasp nests in the orchard during grass cutting or tree care.
I moved the wasp nest a few metres away from that young tree which I needed to prune. Can you imagine the wasps which resided there were so stubborn they didn`t go with the nest but stuck to the trunk instead? I had to put the job off for a few days.
