I will never forget the time I got stung by a wasp. In July of 2008, it was one of the scorching summer time this year for me. This summer my sister and I suppose to go swimming at a beach. Instead, we went swimming at a relative's house who had a barbecue party. When we arrived at the house I already felt excited. Henceforth, when I was swimming in the pool. I felt a needle in my neck, but I had avoided it, though. Because I had thought it was a cramp in my neck. Eventually, I felt a sting again and rip something off my neck. I started freaking out wondering what was it until I saw something glowing in the water and it was a massive wasp. Since I didn't kill the wasp I try to escape, but I couldn't. Because I felt dizzying, having trouble …show more content…
My dizziness made my brain spun all around. As I walked, my balance started to weaken. However, I forcefully tried to walk into the house quickly to call for helped, but I kept falling on the ground. So, I grasped the ground firmly to get up and started to head toward the house again. Automatically I already knew I had a severe reaction from the wasp sting. subsequently, I got to the house and my family members saw me how I was and were worried about me. Instantly, someone started to carry me to a different location to remove the venom from my neck.
Second, while one of my family members drop me off. I had a trouble with breathing. Because when one of my family members removed the poison out my neck, I swelled up which caused me abnormal breathing. In addition, while I was breathing abnormally; I felt that my lungs were slowly Collapsing together. However, my grandmother put a fan in front of me to keep air flowing in my face. Although, it felt like the fan was useless at that time when I was struggling to breathe properly.
Finally, once they removed the poison I felt overjoy. But also, panicking at the same time. Because in my mind I felt like that wasn't real. However, I was panicking at the fact why did bee sting me while I was just splashing in the water. In this case, I felt traumatized from bee and pool ever since that
irregular gasping breath and erratic heart beat in my ears. I managed to push myself up and tried to
I saw her lay her eggs and watched as her larvae matured. Through my observations, I realized that the scary red wasp wasn’t so scary after all, but was in fact fascinating. From that moment on I made it a point learn
The Brown Wasps by Loren Eiseley’s essay demonstrates how human sense of place and self can be based on fantasy. Through his writing, he depicts humans and animals clinging to things they are very familiar with. Eiseley illustrates how humans and animals tend to act in a similar manner by comparing the homeless men who find shelter in train stations with the scenario of the wasp that continuously revisits its hive for accommodation. This is evident in the manner in which both men and wasps die in their special areas. Eiseley depicts homeless men coming to die to the train station benches as similar to the death of wasps in the paper homes. He notes that men sit and cling to benches at the train stations and at times fail to leave the benches
In 2014, my friend fell victim of wasp stung, he got stung on the back of the leg by a wasp, he saw the wasp exiting his boot and he felt an immediate pain in the spot he was stung at and everywhere around was numb. He had to drive from school to home for 30 minutes, by the time he got home, the back of his entire right calf was swollen and red. Whenever he walked on it, it felt like being stung again. He then tried using ice to stop the pain, but that worked briefly.
The spider's venom causes the gangrenous death and decay of the tissue surrounding the site of the bite. While some persons only experience intense itching, others report the symptoms of chills, itching, fever, nausea, sweating and general malaise (sickness and discomfort). A blister forms, with the potential for a volcano lesion to develop, and may take as long as 8 weeks to heal. Though rare, death may occur. Due to the large numbers that can be present in a home, when present, professional pest control in Fort Worth is strongly recommended.
I began convulsions as my brain was trying to stimulate my lungs to get more air. My eyes began to close and it was extremely hard to open them and keep them open. I soon started seeing black surrounding my eyes and everyone became a blur. I was not able to respond to anyone because I could not get enough air to both breathe and talk. I could hear their questions like “Mariah, can you hear me?” or “Hello. Mariah. I need you to respond.” I felt quite scared because I was trying my hardest, but nothing was coming out. The lady said my oxygen level was 58 and I was near respiratory failure, so I needed to get to the hospital. I began to become very nervous and uneasy. All I could see was black and my body could not stop shaking. The paramedics were in serious mode because due to my unresponsiveness and uncontrollable shaking they assumed I was having a small seizure. I got into the ambulance and they put an oxygen mask, which helped me breathe more than I could imagine. Once I arrived at the hospital they took me back to a room and gave me an oral steroid and a nebulizer treatment. This immediately
The irritating irritants. The venom from each insect assault, can lead to irritation, swelling, infection, or a red mark. However in most cases it can or cannot be harmless, but also remain painful and
A couple years back when my mother had back surgery, I would always help her up, which I seemed pretty good at, because she would always say, “Whenever you help me I can never feel it. You are really good at this.” At that time it had gone in one ear and out the other. That’s not until two years ago when my grandmother was really sick, so we had to stay days with her because she couldn’t be by herself. She was sleeping the whole day, so something just told me to wake her up. After I woke her up, she sat up for a few minutes. My family gave her some medicine and then her eyes started rolling behind her head, and she was unresponsive. At that time I rushed and called 911. The whole time I felt as if I was in a daze. At that
Ask your doctor about an EpiPen: If you've been stung before, you may have had only a very mild reaction as a result. However, there is no way for your doctor to determine whether you'll have the same reaction or a much more severe one in the future. A stinging insect allergy that previously resulted in moderate swelling the last time may turn into a severe reaction that results in anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is an extreme reaction where you may have difficulties breathing, dizziness, or
Sean Connery stated: “Some age, others mature”. In Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees, literary devices such as indirect characterization, symbolism and allusions are displayed.

We swiftly walked back to the chairs to call the doctor’s office. The first thing they asked was “is she breathing?” well if she wasn’t I don’t think I would be calling you, I thought to myself. I told them that she was breathing fine, but her left side of the face was very swollen, red and warm to the touch even though she had ice on it. The nurse informed me that I should get her to the hospital. Since this was her first time getting stung and with the reaction she was having they felt this was the best thing for
Hands were wrapped around my neck. I couldn 't breathe. I felt something touch my hand and I let out a sob. I tried to calm myself down. This isn’t going to happen again. I
I started taking even, deep breathes, and I felt it begin to loosen up. It felt strange; like something cold was flowing through me, through my veins, into every piece of me. I felt calm for the first time in awhile. That was when I felt something damp hit my face.
The E.M.T.'s put me in the ambulance where they connect leads to check my heartbeat. Hearing the "beep... beep..." sound from the machine, I finally feel earth bound again. How wonderful to feel the great rock. Then, the E.M.T.'s began applying antiseptic. It was supposed to be painful, but the joys of surviving have covered that pain. I felt reality slipping away, and the last thing I heard is the "whoop" of the siren which escorted us all the way to the hospital.
I could feel the acid in my throat; I desperately needed water and couldn’t keep any food down. I had felt like this for the last three months but no one believed me. I started to doubt it myself, my mom said I was fine so why wouldn’t I be?
