A few years ago I was walking out to my pool, it's about a 100ft walk, and I stepped on a honey bee. It hurt just like any other bee sting....I thought nothing of it...got the stinger out...blablabla...next day, the bottom of my foot was all swollen....it was bad....it was extremely painful...couldn't walk on it...of course, couldn't fit my foot in the shoe...mind you, I was stung in the bottom of my foot in the middle of the arch....and when it swolled or whatever it is that happened, it was in a oval shape....anyway, I never did get it checked out by the doc...it went away after a few weeks.
The worst I ever got was once I got stung in the eye by a wasp...whoever said that bee needs to land on you first inorder to sting you lied.
