Woke up at 6, went to the bathroom and a wasp stung me on the back of my neck. Never seen a wasp like it. Fastest most erratic insect I've ever seen. Whole right side of the head felt like it was on fire for about an hour. Felt like a bullant sting but went for way longer.

Don't normally get too upset will little bites but this really tested my limit. Cheaper than a coffee though.

I guess the silver lining is now I know I won't die if get stung again by the same one lol.

I wish I knew what sort it was but it was way too fast.

First wasp bite though, so that's exciting.
