What are you afraid of?

[badjak]

Wasps and bees, I am allergic. I don't like eating outdoors at all. Festivals are also unpleasant for me in summer, I need to watch out all the time.

Aside from that, hospital drips/tubes ( not sure about the name in English) that go through the nose. I have a broken nose that's not been set correctly, so trying to put one in was traumatic. I hope I will never need one again. It's been one of the worst hospital experiences I ever had.

Do you carry an epi pen?
Still better to avoid than cure, obviously

I do but it doesn't make me feel more comfortable. My husband is also a First Aid teacher so I should be ok but I just feel stressed when there are a lot of wasps.

Fully understandable!

I am afraid as f*** of jellyfish. I can start running on waters like Jesus if I only hear someone says jellyfish.
And wasps. I become hysterical when I see them flying around.

I recall being in the Gulf of Mexico and diving off the sailboat, right into a bunch of moon jellyfish. It was like an ant bite, except everywhere all at once since I landed in all the nettles. The treatment was simple enough, meat tenderizer. The enzyme in the tenderizer breaks down the toxin.

I keep a jar of meat tenderizer in my first aid drawer what with all the biting bugs around here.
