Imunity to bluebottles!

Post by Snapper » Tue Jan 13, 2004 8:52 pm

I have been stung by the little bastards so many times I have built up an imunity to them. They can land on me and i will pull them off and the only thing that happens is a tiny bit of redness. I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!!!

They arent my thing but i havent been stung this summer thus far so i can't complain, has anyone noticed that some summers there are alot of the buggars and not so many other summers. Some people just have the luck of avoiding them

I'm a pretty hairy bugger so usually the sting is sitting a mil above my skin on a bed of hair. But if I do get stung I get cramps on the limb that was stung. Does that happen to anyone else?

I'd like to see proof of this .... a photo of yourself draped in fresh blue bottles will suffice :twisted:

Didn't bother me for years, and then I copped one on the face while body surfing - now I hate the little b@s7@rd5......

one or two is ok apart from the pain. worst part is the itch for days later.

I got stung once on both knees and both elbows and ended up on bed for 2 days with intense pain in my abdomen.

They don’t hurt so much if its just on the leg or arm( but the do itch like big mosquito bites) but then they get your face THE F$%KEN HURT. Summer Before last I got smashed by one while I was duck diving and somehow it manages to get the stinger up my nose, not the most pleasant surfing memory that one .Whitey.

Sorry fellaz johnny knoxville has kicked the bucket. He died trying to eat a pound/kilo of salt.
Apparently the salt burnt his stomach to pieces and he died when all his stomach "juices" spread throughout his body.
Anyways.
cheers
