    I got bumbled putting out the washing a few years ago. My own fault for minding my own business and walking past the honeysuckle....
    Felt like I'd been punched in the kidneys!
    I can see why people suffer with anaphylaxis

      @flounder, I suffer from anaphylaxis if I get stung by a wasp. I've only been hospitalised twice but it is horrible. I have to carry an EpiPen. I don't panic when I see a wasp as 99.9% of the time they keep away but I stay careful.
