Camping and Health: Nature is healing

Nature is healing

By anonymous - 30/06/2016 05:27 - United States - Forney

Today, I was started my week of camping alone in the woods. I took my shoes off to go to sleep, but I had to come out to get water. I stepped on a wasp, and while I was standing on one foot looking at the sting, I realized I was in an ant pile. I'm allergic to both. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know? It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, I was stung by a wasp. Startled, I stumbled and grabbed a nearby tree branch to regain my balance. The branch happened to be the location of the wasp's nest, which fell to the ground and split open. The wasps weren't happy. FML

Bee plot

Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML

Nice friends you got there

Today, my friends and I went camping. In the middle of the night, they carried me deep into the forest and left me there. I stepped on a beehive as I walked back to the tent. FML

Nature finds a way

Today, I decided to take a nap in the park. I found a nice shady spot and closed my eyes. When I woke up, I realized I had fallen asleep on an ant hill. My entire body was riddled with ants. FML

Today, whilst out on a walk with the dogs, I decided to explore a different part of the woods. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my bum. Then another. And another. I realised it was wasps and ran. I've been stung 11 times and have to go back tomorrow for the coat I dropped. FML

Nature isn't healing

Today, I was on a nature hike and had to use the bushes as a restroom. In doing so I stepped on an ant hill and ended up with my shorts around my ankles, dancing the Twist to fend off the ants. FML

Today, this huge wasp started flying around me. I freaked out and started running from it. Then I slipped, landed face-first in some dog poo, and got stung by the wasp on my leg. FML

Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML

But which one are you MORE allergic to? Fortunately, you've unintentionally conducted an experiment to answer just that!

What the hell are you doing in the woods if you're allergic to such abundant insects? Get back in your hermetically sealed bubble!

That's like saying just because you are allergic to peanuts, you shouldn't go into a store.

The answer is many people carry the necessary meds. You can't avoid everything.

Perhaps camping isn't for you, OP.

Considering OP is around to post the FML, he/she probably had an epipen and is ok.

Am I the only one that notices, "I was started my week?"

Well you are alive and writing this so I guess the eppi pen worked.. Good on ya.. What does not kill me makes me stronger (or at least very ill for some time). Don't go camping alone cuz you need someone to report you missing or times like these when you need help.. Also, if you went to get away from morons and idiots around you and could not get a single person you are ok with to come with you says something.
