I got stung by a bee riding my motorcycle once (on Mulholland Drive in LA) -- right in my cheek through the open visor on my full face helmet.
I felt fine for a bit and then got woozy. Had to get off the bike for a minute but decided to get home, and took myself to hospital next door in Tarzana. Ended up with my whole face swelled up on a bunch of drugs. I was arguing with the nurse because whatever she gave me made my whole body feel sharp pain; finally another nurse came and gave me something else to calm me down. That was a fun day, haha!
I had been stung by bees before when I was a kid, and nothing happened; this time, however, I had a severe allergic reaction. Bastards! But hey I didn't go down!!
