Lisa, I am glad you are okay, and wish it never happened.
I have Epi Pens for my wife - she's highly allergic to wasp/bee stings. Driving her to the ER was my worst experience with bees/wasps.
My second worst was when a neighbor asked me to remove honeysuckle from her fence. It was a few feet from a little mobile home. I wasn't using gloves and grabbed a black wasp nest by mistake. I don't know how many times I was stung? It was enough to keep my hand swollen for a full week. I used Benadryl.
Both situations taught me that I need to be more aware. Bees/wasps like warm places where they can hide just as much as they like building nests inside barns and the such. A purse is a good place for them to hide in. Wasps like anywhere out of the weather/rain.
