So yesterday I was at my caleeche pit trying out my new Ruger PC Carbine (love it!). When I went back to the pickup to reload there was a bee hanging out at the passenger side window. Sure enough it tagged me on the right forearm! Not sure why bees and wasps are attracted to window glass...
Anyway, I thought ice, benadryl stick, and tylenol! None of which I had in the pickup of course neither did I have my first aid kit.
So, tomorrow I am buying one of those crushed ice packets you can buy at drugstores and adding it along with a benadryl stick and some tylenol to my first aid kit.
I do not have a tourniquet either nor do I know how to use one. A local E.M.T. told me he would be happy to show me how to use one and which one to buy so I think I will call him and set that up.
Just wanted to pass that along in case anybody gets stung by a bee or wasp at the range! And, no, I did not get off a shot at the fleeing bee. :)
