Think about the worst thing that has ever bitten you, how did it happen?

A friend's dog ripped my nose open. I got too close. I can still see the scar. This post was edited by Element 99 at March 15, 2022 3:52 PM MDT

I got bitten by a wasp under my chin  when I was 7 years old while we were out picking blueberries. I'd been bitten by dogs also and cats but I always preferred getting bitten by a wasp. This post was edited by Kittigate at March 15, 2022 3:52 PM MDT

The worst THING was my sister.  It was not the worst bite I even got (that was from a dog).

When we were little kids, my sister was a biter.  She learned that biting my brother usually stopped him from picking on her.  My brother used to call my sister Pig, and like any little brother would, I copied him. Well, one day I made fun of Pig and she bit me. 

A goat.
It was trying to eat a keychain that was on my belt, and I swatted the goat's nose.
In retaliation, it bit my hand.

I've never been bitten by anything more than a mosquito. 

The worst thing that bit me was a fire ant, which actually bites and stings at the same time. I was wearing sandals and it bit me on the toe. The bite wasn't too painful, but I swelled up like a balloon and went into anaphylactic shock.

Like Jane, fire ants.  I was a little kid and looked down and I was standing on an ant mound with red ants all over my legs and feet.  I couldn't move.  Somehow I got into the house and my paw paw took care of it.  I don't remember what he did but my sharpest memory of the whole thing is standing there unable to move. 

Spider

A Shetland sheepdog. Dogs usually like me, I can annoy owners of guard dogs by making friends with them - but this one was schizoid. Let me play with him, threw his ball for him to fetch a few times - then as soon as I turned my back, it went for my calf. I still have the scar.

Tick. The anxiety about potentially contracting Lyme, etc. is worse than the pain of fire ants, snakes, guinea pigs, birds, cats, kids, etc.
