For Corrosive, because I know he likes them so much! :) Spider Pictures...BEWARE!!!
GabeU, that sounds HORRIBLE. I've only ever been stung by bees, and that's pretty bad. Can't even imagine being stung by hornets so many times. I bet your brother broke some speed records that day...
Actually, to be honest, though collectively it was excruciating for a few hours, each individual sting wasn't all that bad compared to many other wasps and such. I've been stung by standard yellow jackets and they hurt SO MUCH more. Bald faced hornets are actually a type of yellow jacket, but they don't hurt as much as the regular ones, for some reason. At least, not that I remember. In reality, those European hornets are the only real hornets we have in North America.
My mother took me to the ER, though, as she was concerned about being stung by so many at one time. I'm not allergic to bees or wasps normally, but when you get stung that many times it's best to not take a chance. It's something I'll never forget, that's for sure. My brother won't, either. We actually laugh about it sometimes.
