In my short 41 years on this rock, I have been envenomated or otherwise temporarily injured by the following:
1. Blue Bottles - MANY times. I am desensitised to them now, and only feel minorly itchy - not much pain and no swelling
2. Bees - a few. I am mildly allergic to bee venom, so it's something I avoid
3. Wasps - MANY times, and you never see the little bastiges first. Feels like a red hot poker or even a gunshot wound. Pain lasts but a few minutes for me - probably desensitised again!
4. Green ants - meh. No biggy
5. Bull ants. Bastiges. Biggy.
6. Click Beetles (not sure what their real name is). Smarts for HOURS.
7. Sandflies/Midgies/Mosquitoes. Gotten used to them. No longer a major itching problem as it used to be for me.
8. Dogs: 3 times. Once stitched. Every time was stupidly trying to seperate our 2 dogs during fights. A bucket of water hurts everyone less
9. Cats. Only one of the 3 cats I have had. Drawn blood, OFTEN. I still love her
10. Blue Tongue Lizard. More fright than anything, because the head looks like a snakes.
11. THe wife. All in good fun
