The story is not over.
This morning when I woke up I found a dead wasp in the bath tub. Where did it come from ?! I must have brought it in yesterday when I came back . I went out caching again and I entered a wood. Immediately a couple of wasps came closer! I run away immediately. I found some interesting information in the internet. Wasps communicate thru chemicals. Indeed I was smelling something during yesterday's attack. A smell that I recalled immediately from the previous time i got stung, many years ago. If you ask me to dscribe the smell I wouldn't know what to say, except that it is the smell of fear! The pheromone must have spread all over me and also inside the car. I better stay clear of woods and areas where they can have their nests for a while.
By the way, I got from yesterday's encounter some souvenirs. I got stung on my arm, my scalp, my shoulder, my back, and my finger. It is much worse than a mosquito bite. All the area is swollen and hard. If it doesn't get better I will have to see a doctor tomorrow.
Let's face it. Geocaching is dangerous. It is not just the wasps or the ravines ar falling from trees. The point is that when we are concentrated on the search we forget about what is around us. I think that we should take a lesson from our bad experience. We should never rush, and remember to play it safe
