Wasp? (cross-referencing to dick swinging now since things seem pretty laissez faire) I had a black widow in my boot a few days ago, they tell me this is a pretty normal reaction.
Yep...I got stung by a bastid wasp for the first time in about 40 years. 8 weeks on and I've still got a big red ring Edit: Ooops...sorry. That last comment was meant for the 'How hot was your saturday curry' thread on a different forum
