Am I Scared of Anything?

Hello friends and readers. How has your weekend went so far? Mine has so far been a busy one. It's almost like I won't get much time to re-energize for the normal work week which starts on Monday for me. There is some good news I was able to spare a small amount to deposit here.

Today my article came from the ideas from another user here. Please check out the article, "Random Questions" by @Angge22 I'm not using all the questions but will provide the answer to one of them which is my article title. It's really neat to use the ideas from a user who shares the same birthday as me. I also find it really cool she has a sister on board here as well, @Zhyne06

Alright I will tell you one of my fears, I don't want to give you all of them as you would certainly be able to bring me to my knees 😂 I think there are a few people here who know what it is. My fear is of the following stinging flying insects: bees, wasps, and hornets. Let me tell you my story.

Flying stinging insects

I think most of us feared these in our younger days. I just never grew up dropping the fear 😂 I never got stung by them until I reached the ripe age of 42. I thought in my mind that maybe I'm allergic to them. I did have other family members that were though.

The earliest memories of my encounters come from mowing grass. I lived in the county side growing up so we had a huge lawn. My first encounter was me versus the bumblebee. On one side of our lawn was a grove. An area that doesn't get mowed. There was tall grass and plenty of pollen producing plants. The bumblebees would fly around and the sound and size made me think they would pack a good punch. I'll admit there were many times I left the lawn mower by running away from it like a little girl seeing a mouse. On the main lawn their were a lot smaller bees on dandelions. Ok the mow paths weren't always straight 😂 Sometimes I would stop than quickly mow over them.

I have had so many close calls with wasps in particular. I have had them land on my arm numerous times. I would swat them off and run the 1oo meters probably in record times. Heck maybe I should have ran short distances in track. Put a beehive behind me and when the gun sounds I bet surely my chances of winning would be high.

Hornets I have only seen a few times. Darn things are monsters who wouldn't be afraid of a 2 to 3 inch stinging insects. I remember one time going to mail box to retrieve the mail. I opened the door and heard and seen one. Once again my quick reaction and quick speed saved me. I finally got the mail but it was hours later as I slowly approached the mail box with caution.

My time did come when I finally got stung. What was I doing? I was mowing grass alongside a shed in my back yard. I felt like a pebble hit me hard in the back of my head. It wasn't a pebble because the pain was accompanied by a pulse related feeling where I was hit. Surely it was a wasp because there was a huge nest near the peak crest of the shed.

My only other time was this past summer when I was at work. Some co-workers were loading up a rack that contained some metal poles. While moving it a slew of wasp flew out of it. I was a good 20 feet away and thought that was a safe distance. I got hit twice in the back of my head about 5 minutes later. All I could think of was why me wasp I didn't do it 🤣

After thoughts

Now a lot more of you know one of my fears. I will tell you I should buy stock in wasp spray as I have back up to back up cans of it. Don't think I get very close to the nest I spray either. I probably also spray much more than I need to. Have to make sure there's chances of survival right? Anyone interested in another fear I have? If I get a few comments of interest I will do a Part II. Are you scared of anything?

Thanks for stopping by, take care, and be safe. Love you all ❤️
