Riding along and sommething flew into my mouth. Stung me inside my cheek and on the tongue. Both swelled up and are painfull. I can still swallow and have eaten my lunchtime sarnies. Lots of anti histamine. No problem breathing and no other obvious symptons. Will I wake up tomorrow morning?
Yes, I know the spinach brigade will say get to A&E but I'm neither pregnant nor a four year old girl with a grazed thumb so the 6 hour wait will either see me dead or cured. I'f I'm to die I'd rather do it at home, and if I'm cured I'll be put down as a time waster.
Don't know what flew into my mouth. Looked all black - no yellow - so maybe not a wasp, but it was too quick to take everything in. Anyone else ever been stung inside the mouth?
Yes.
I got stung my a wasp inside my throat last year.
I coughed the thing out afterwards or perhaps that was the last thing it did... I had no idea what it was just I'd swallowed an insect...
Cutting a long story short I curtailed the ride as my breathing was not 100% and started back... but an hour or so later it was more or less all gone...
Tempted to think that if you were going to react badly, it would have happened.
Will you wake up tomorrow? More than likely, yes.
Will you die. Absolutely, but unlikely to be related to this.
Horrible isn’t it.
Try swallowing one whilst it stings on the way down... 🤮
Well it's over three hours now. Wife thinks I'll live. Not sure if she's happy about that!!!

She's just biding her time until she can check your life insurance cover...
I was stung in the throat by a wasp as a small child, i had to eat soup for a few days as i couldn't swallow properly but this being back in the 80s correct medical procedure was for mother to give me a cursory look over, offer me TCP to gargle (declined, obviously) then send me back out to play since i was clearly fine or I'd have taken the vile tcp. I survived just fine.
Ultimately it serves me right for eating custard cream biscuits for one and chewing with my mouth open for another. It cured both those foul habits and left me with a phobia of wasps that took years to get over.
I got stongue on the tung last weekend, just after saying my growler/special sippy cup kept the wasps out. It does, but only if you close the closer.
Still alive at the time of writing
Your growler keeps wasps out? 😯
I was stung in the lip when I was doing the London to Brighton offroad ride a few years ago. Not sure what it was but it hurt and swelled up. I think it injected PEDs as I got angry and rode faster.
True story.
A bee flew in my helmet whilst heading downhill in Pateley Bridge recently, trying to get it out at 25mph was not easy, painful sting right near the vein on my temple.
I got stung on the tongue by a bee a couple of weeks ago whilst riding, hurt like hell and made me talk like Harry Kane for a few hours, but apart from that no other ill effects.
Are you dead?
Who me?
I think so, but then maybe not. How would I know the difference?
