An internal struggle, physically

I had a rather interesting experience today. A war was waged within myself to put it in an extreme style statement.

A yellow jacket landed on my head... without realizing what it was I reached to brush it off. That's when it stung my finger. Now, I've been stung before. A bee got me at the base of my skull once (interesting story... but I'll save it for later, needless to say I drove 10 miles right after that). Yellow jacket stings hurt worse than bees... and they leave their mark too. Almost a bite-like mark that bleeds if you add pressure (not a lot but oh well).

Anyway, I could feel the venom moving down my hand, burning like a fire in my veins (an amazing feeling really). I temporarily cut off circulation to my hand. This stopped all pain and allowed my body to fight the venom for a little bit. After the pain had been gone for a bit I let go and allowed blood to flow. Then the pain was beneath my wrist. I felt it moving, rapidly, across my forearm. The burning was slightly less at each point but it felt interesting. My body finally neutralized all the venom right before it passed my elbow.

Really, a very different feeling from bee stings. There was almost no swelling.. it was like a group of assassins was attempting to reach my heart. Fortunately my internal defenses protected em to the fullest and I'm none the worse for wear. The whole ordeal actually took only a few minutes (the venom was quick... but I was quicker).

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend going out and getting stung by a Yellow Jacket on purpose... but if you do, think about it. At least get some sensation other than pain out of it and learn something. That's what makes the world interesting; lookign beyodn what one's first reaction is or should be.
