Wee beasties

[Canardly]

Got stung in the eyelid on a ride today, it hurts, and lid is swollen!

[andygates]

Ow! To the cold things (BEER and ICE CREAM) for relief. 

(I got the mouth a couple of weeks ago)

Could be worse.  Could be a BEAR.

[Pingu]

Aye, BEAR stings smart a bit.

[Canardly]

This bloody thing is still hurting. Have had anti histamines, ten packets of tissues and various aspirin concoctions. We were taking a family group ride on local limited miles run. Doesn't help if you can't see. Note most anti bite pain relief treatments consist of ammonia to counteract acidic insect bite so you dont want to be dabbing these things into your eyes. WAPITA. Pure serendipity but daughter No 1 visited today and announced that she had been bitten by a SNAKE in one of the londinium town parks and showed the marks to prove it...... local A and E yawned and did not provide anti venom so this must be a fairly common occurrence.... strewth!.

She is not alone. A friend 6 doors down from me got bitten by an adder in his back garden. A&E sent him home with instructions to take some paracetemol for the pain. Reaction to the anti venom can be as bad or sometimes worse than the reaction to the venom, apparently. GWS to you both!

It's nice to know there are still plenty of adders in The Great Wen. I'd hate it if all the poisonous critters were in Westminster, Wapping & the City.

I'd be hugely surprised to find an adder in a That London Park.  They tend to hang out in sandy heathland, at least in this country.
