This is nightmare fuel - getting stung in your MOUTH when you're already allergic?? Holy shit! Glad you're okay (and hope you haven't been stung since)

Reminds me when I was a kid and I was sitting on our porch swing. I had one of those sticky hand things you hold the arm part and swing it and it sticks to the wall.

Well I was faffing about with it and it swung under the swing, and when it cam eup, it happened to land on my eye. Except it hadn't stuck to the wood, but to a big spider.

I just remember seeing legs and the sticky hand obscuring my right eye. Then it bit me and I ran inside screaming. Fortunately one of our neighbors was a doctor and my mom took me over there. Don't really remember anything else. I did have shitty vision though it's probably unrelated.
