Evil little bastards gang up on you and can sting more than once. About a dozen years or so ago I was mowing and clipped one of the railroad ties that I used for landscaping with my mower deck, they were on me in an instant, never seen so many. I had on sunglasses but I still shielded my eyes, ran over a small stump, almost ran through the dog fence before I could get off and run and roll on the ground, them wearing me out the whole time. Come to find out they had built an enormous underground nest under my ties, biggest I’d ever seen. When it was all said and done they got me with 37 stings that we could count, from head to toe. I took 6 Tylenol and 4 Benadryl, slept for 18 hours. When I got up I took 2 gallons of gas, 1 gallon of kerosene and 2 rolls of Bounty paper towels to them. A bit of the backyard burned for over half an hour and the initial fireball was probably 25 feet high or higher, yard looked like hell for the rest of the season. I know it was overkill, but I was a bit pissed. Little bastards!
