Wasps + Ladder = ouch!

[Gunnyart]

Just saw my life flash before my eyes.
Standing on the top of a step ladder and stuck my hand in a wasps nest which caused me to lurch back when I got stung and fell to the concrete. Fortunately just one sting and a sore knee for my trouble. I’m in West Texas at the GAP Ranch by myself. Could have been a lot worse.

be careful dude

Glad you are ok!
Ladders are dangerous without Wasps when you get my age.

Were you wasp wrangling gunny?

[Mike Fangman]

Yikes,,,, wasps freak me out anyway, being on a ladder would be way worse, cuz I know I would bale off it too. Glad it wasn't worse.

#1 never stand on top step of ladder
#2 never stick hand in wasp nest

Glad you OK LUCKY... Ladder work should NEVER be done alone

I think Chew would agree with you.

I don’t know the wasps were there till it was too late. Was trying to take the screen off a window. Treating the knee with whisky. The sting is already healed.

I hear whiskey is a great, yet temporary, treatment for knee injuries.

[Texas Grown]

Whiskey is a good remedy for knee pain. Rub knee, drink whiskey, rub knee, drink whiskey. Then repeat till pain is almost gone.

[Gunnyart]

Not sure if it’s numbing the knee or just my brain but it’s working.

That sounds expensive and time consuming. And liver consuming.

I hope you're not allergic! Could have been way worse

[Gunnyart]

Ace bandage and an ice pack on the knee but it’s not good.

Glad you’re otherwise ok!
