i got stung yesterday by a donkey wasp . was one of those nasty brown ones about 2ins long with a yellow tail.
it had managed to get up the sleeve of a jacket and when i put it on i felt as if i had just been injected with a red hot syringe.
i realized that it must have been along the lines of a sting and took the jacket off gingerly.
some turkish people watching me were quite horified to see this thing fly out.
it was quite painful but i was prepared to leave it at that, however the turkish company i was with insisted i went to casualty and get it checked out.
so went to the little govnt hospital in fethiye near the tues market, got seen by a docter straight away the docter was in no doubt what to do and directed me to a nurse for treatment.presumably antialargy jabs.
i got two injections in both cheeks so ended up with a sore ass as well!
seriously hardly felt a thing, only a little prick..as the actress said to the bishop!
i think in the end i did the right thing and would recomend anyone who gets stung etc. to go along and get it treated to be on the safe side. they have all the treatments for this kind of thing waiting there...and it was free of charge.
