Bee Or Wasp Sting Just Below The Eye Socket

[AB Editor]

Evening!

I have been stung by a wasp or a bee while out for a bicycle ride.

I can't tell you which because I had my eye closes so it wouldn't wipe its pollen-filthy feet on my iris.

Happened about 15 minutes ago.

At first the sting was square and raised white, probably about 1x1cm - now it has probably tripled in size in a oblong the bone just beneath the socket. Towards the tearduct end of the show

Anti-histamine taken, and keeping and eye on it (ha!) currently.

My question is, am I about to become a pirate styled gnome-and-editor? Or, if it is a mere remote possibility - what should I watch out for? Any suggestions for a good eye-patch place?

Was that a euphemism, chilli?

Ed, does it hurt ?

[ChillDoubt]

No Svejk, Ed knows I'm a keen cyclist. These are the daily dangers one faces as a result!

Chill, are they those X ray specs ;-)
