Shoe Cover Trap Stinger

Post by NATURAL ANKLING »

Hi,
Whats the odds? That I was stung on the lower leg under my shoe cover by a bee / wasp.
Within a day my ankle had swollen to almost twice its size and last night the swelling had reached my knee.
Postponing 12 hr ride on Friday.
Took some piriton and today its better, was so swollen last night, itching too, that twenty paces was needed for the stiffness and pain due to swelling would subside.

I did think of closing the small gap on top of my shoe covers to prevent rain / or even grass etc stones from dropping in.

Stung on the temple this year and went to hospital as my throat was affected, its not as bad as anaphylactic shock for sure but I read on the net a bee keeper died stung the same place but he was asthmatic.

It appears that I am still some what allergic to stings.
