so i sprayed it twice with windex and slowly killed it with paper towels. This was the first time i was stung by a bee, at least i know im not allergic to those suckers.
sparknotes-f*ck you bees!
i'd say you are at least mildly allergic to bee stings.. yellowjacket stings don't carry that much venom and in turn don't usually swell that much, at least for me, after the initial sting they just itch a little bit. if your thumb swelled to twice it's size i'd suggest getting tested for he allergy before you get stung by something more substantial, swell up, and die.. just a thought
