How is the swelling from the wasp bites? Hope the Benadryl worked. Nice you have guests there.
Re: Jajewel - jajewel - 10-18-2011
Just now saw your post, Angel.....swelling is subsiding gradually (same like when I got stung before on my arm)...I have been stung before with NO reaction, so think this was a certain species of wasp.....didn't take more Benadryl, but I am going to stock up on it to make sure I have it so I can take it immediately if I get stung again, although, I have a feeling that there are several species of wasps in Ja. & this one is the most poisonous. I would love to have someone to do all the yardwork on a weekly basis but the $ is just not there.
You're a very caring person....thanks for asking!

Yikes !!!!! So Sorry JJ....Yes, there are different species of wasps..Not sure how many but I remember doing research a long time ago about types of poisonous insects in Jam-and came across info re: bees, wasps, etc..
So yes, please stock up on the benadryl- the odd thing about allergies,sometime they affect very mildly and then the next time...Bam!!!
you get hit hard...and its very serious...
Take care JJ....and try to get rid (have Barry) all the wasps nests and/or if you see any of the type that have underground burrows...
