No, I've never been scared of spiders. I was scared of scorpions, so I got an emperor 4 years ago and now I have deathstalkers. I think it just takes time. Never been stung, but I don't think it would deter me at this point. I guess it just takes time.

Haven't been stung by a bee/wasp/hornet of any kind yet Alhamdulillah though that does mean I don't know if I'm allergic or not. Is there any way to know if we are allergic without getting stung?As for Ts, I don't care if people think I'm too wary or something, better safe than sorry lol

No, as far as I know, you won't have a reaction your first time getting stung. Your body has to build the histamine. I might be incorrect though.

Am I the only one who doesn't know what a bee sting feels like?

Nope, I've never been stung by bees or wasps, just bit by mosquitoes. Probably going to change due to my interest in paper wasps

I'm one of those people who hasn't been stung by a bee before, so if I ever get bit I won't know what to compare it to.

As far as I know you can't become allergic to anything without being exposed to it at least once before.

I've never been stung by a bee/wasp/hornet, but I was bitten by a Cheiracanthium sp. that I rolled over on top of in bed and squashed to death. I've never been bitten by the tarantulas in 20 years either.

I was stung IN THE FACE by a bee last month. It was on my face and I batted it away and then it stung me. Ugh. It hurt a bit, I was more bummed that the bee died for that though.
Now yellow jackets? Don't get me started on those horrendous creatures!

The poor Bee died because encountered the most ugly, crude (a la Charles Bronson) obnoxious face ever possible in dat (dat, uh!) little place

ih ih ih I'm joking, sweety <- 3

Count your blessings. Bees are not all that big a deal (unless you are allergic), now wasps and hornets, that’ll “wake ya up in the mornin’”.

Got a wasp stuck in my hair once, good times

Bees are cool. I've only been stung by wasps (most recently when a yellow jacket flew up my pants and stung my several times on the thigh).

The initial sting feels like being jabbed with a hot poker. The area becomes inflamed and throbs for a few hours. Then the swelling subsides, and it itches for several days.
