Aieeee! Sounds like a European Wasp. Get some calamine lotion and antihistamines from the chemist tomorrow. I hope you're feeling better really soon *hug*

I dunno, I haven't been stung by anything in ages - could have been a horsefly, since I gather they're fairly nasty.

I'm sure I shall be fine by tomorrow, though, it's just a bit of a pain in the arse - er, tummy - today, and I'm venting to distract myself.

Oh, ok! So you won't mind me telling you that your ascii pain-o-meter is breaking the friends page? ;-)

Well over 80 characters wide. Shocking. Some people can't measure these days. ;)

To the best of my knowledge, horsefly bites tend more to be like The Attack Of The 50-Foot Mosquito. I'd be betting on a wasp or a hornet. (Hate, hate, hate.)

Hope you're feeling rather less pained today.

We've got him antihistamined (between my dust allergy and our mutual hayfever, I keep these around).

Could have been a thrip, mind you.

(Gen. Thysanoptera)

Little black buggers, typically sub-1mm (a.k.a. thunderflies) - you don't notice them until it's Too Late, but the bloodsucking ones can cause some really quite impressive red marks a good inch across.

If the original impact was actually discernable, it was probably a wasp, bee or hornet. I can't comment on the symptoms of a wasp sting as I've never actually been stung by one.

(30 years! screw you, genus Vespa! You'll never take me alive!)

I'm 39 and haven't been stung by a bee or wasp *touchwood* - I don't even know if I'm allergic.
