typhoon lagoon warning

[buzz2400]

We were just at typhoon lagoon last week. I walk around without my glasses so I don't "see" as well but I have been there many times so I know the layout. Anyway, we were walking along and all of a sudden it felt like I stepped on a piece of glass. I look at the bottom of my foot and guess what is there. A bee. I stepped on a bee which in turn stung me. It took me 48 years to get stung by a bee. So watch where you are walking.

Ouch!! I hope it didn't ruin your day! I honestly don't recall seeing bees there but one time a HUGE "gator tick" was in the wave pool at BB and everyone freaked out lol. Hope your foot is ok

This just in:

Fire is hot. Knives are sharp. And remember to breath.

Updates as they come in.

Check your shoes too. I got stung by a bee in Florida as I put a shoe back on.

Now, I know when I camp to check for crawly things, but it never occurred to me at a pool.

One of the many reasons I don't walk around any public/outdoor space without shoes on.

It didn't ruin my day but I had to be careful because my mother is highly allergic to bee stings so I was little worried but after about an hour, all was forgotten. But boy did it hurt.

Rush to AK and sit through "It's Tough to be a Bug!"

If that doesn't help the condition go talk to the IFAS Extension people at Flower and Garden Festival about CCD. Oh, never mind.

 

[poooh]

I guess a bee is better than a shard of glass? Maybe.

If it's the first time you've been stung, you won't have an allergic reaction even if you turn out to be allergic - your body needs the first sting to produce IgE to recognise the venom. Just because you've been stung once and didn't react doesn't mean you're in the clear! http://www.maara.org/index.php?page=bee

Ouch!! Haven't been stung by a bee at the water parks yet, but we were in the lazy river at Splish Splash on long island & a snake swam by. People were screaming & jumping off their tubes right & left.
Have to say my kids were much calmer than their mother- I was scarred for life! Hate snakes!

HUGE "gator tick" was in

What the heck is a gator tick? Some kind of tick, or something else?

No it is a really big, gawdawful ugly water bug.

We didn't see bees but there were wasps near the bar when we were there in February.

No no no... you use FP+ to get stung!

The stinger is a souvenir.

Ouch that stinks! I was also stung at Typhoon Lagoon. We were in line for the shark reef swim and I got stung on the inside of my arm. It was the third time in my life I've been stung - but it was better than sitting at work so I couldn't get too upset

Always carry your Epi pen when traveling to warmer locations without a foot of snow at the moment.

Hope you managed the rest of the day.
