I imagine it to be like some of the cacti around here. You get a needle from some of those in your foot or someplace else, and it burns like the dickens.
i was stung one time by a bee when i was working in this resort, one of the staff gave me something to put on it, one time i was eating dinner at another resort and a fly kept flying around me, i kept swatting it and it got mad and bit me on the neck, guess i deserved it
My first diving board experience I stepped on a bumble bee before I lept. I yelped as I dove forward flailing my arms and legs while screaming like a banger. To top things off, Im afraid of heights. I never dove again. Never got stung again either. ;)
