Stung...

Strangest thing... on a ride up Mt. Lemmon, a bug got me in the eye... and stung my eyeball...
It never occurred to me that that was an option for them, but now that I think about it, why not?...
Not a bee or anything,.. maybe a mosquito or flying ant...
No swelling,... but it feels like there's a tree trunk in there, and things are fuzzzy... got a crackin' headache too...

Chalk up one more for the "Who'd a thunk'd" file...

If it's much worse tomorrow,... I'll probably get it looked at...
Anybody else?... ever get stung on the eyeball?... Huh

Serowbot,

I have not yet been stung in the eyeball......

Twice I have hit bees in the ass and ended up with a stinger in my neck.

The worst sting experience that I ever had happen was in 1974. My brother and I rode up along the Susquehanna River to Sunbury, PA. We stopped at a Dutch Pantry for lunch and I hung my helmet over the mirror on the handlebars. When we came back out of the restaurant I put the helmet on and it felt like I had stones in the helmet.

18 stingers removed in the emergency room...I have been allergic to bee stings ever since....

Unless your sting is completely healed in the morning you should consider getting your eye looked at. It is a pregnant dog riding with just one eye, your peripheral vision will be terrible.

Good Luck

Kenny G

Yeah, probably not wise to be
Tough
when you have a booboo on your eyeball. I know, I didn't go to the doctor when I busted my head, but the damage was done. Your EYE? If you think you Might have a piece of stinger or bug stuck in it, you might wanna have someone have a look at that.
Someone who still has both eyes. Hint, hint,,
Macho Muppets, what're'ya gonna do?

What? And miss those break dancing moves?
Those things Burn. A red wasp tagged me just above the hairline on the right side. The swelling slowly fell down my face, collecting under the chin. Looked like the mumps, or, mump, since it was only one side..
Bees leave stingers, and die. They don't really want to sting.
Wasps are evil. I don't mess with them usually, because if I did, I wouldn't have time to do anything else. My daughter and I did spend time together shooting them with rubber bands. I'm outta practice but killed two.

THAT is the reason that I ALWAYS wear goggles or a face shield on the bike. It is far less painful and easier to get something off the goggles than out of your eye.
