I don't know by what....I was walking across the corral this morning & I kind of moved my hand down & back, it brushed against my leg & there was a pain in my hand. I looked & there was a sticker in the back of my hand, just below the knuckle where my little finger joins my hand. I thought there'd been a sticker in my pant leg & it got jammed into my hand, so I pulled it out & looked at it, & it was a stinger off of some nasty insect. I don't know what kind--it was a deep red stinger, attached to a translucent white bubble--kind of looked like I detached some bee or wasp from his entire butt??? And it was pulsating, making the stinger move up & down. EEEEEWWWW!
It stung for awhile but by the time I finished up at the barn at noon it wasn't bothering at all--there was a little swelling around the sting site but that was it. Now I've been in the house awhile, sitting here at the 'puter, and just happened to move that hand different, and it really hurt. I looked, & it's all swollen around the sting, and it's sore to touch or to move--feels like I really whacked it against something & have major bruising. Never had a wasp or bee sting act like this, so now I'm wondering what it was???
Last time I got stung by something was a robber fly--they aren't supposed to bite people, but this one hit the corner window of my truck and whapped into my arm--it stuck it's nasty little stinger into my arm before it died. Well, let me tell you, it's a good thing that those robber flies aren't normally into stinging people, cuz that was one nasty sting, far worse than any wasp sting I've ever had.
I'll likely lose my hand.....
