I wouldn't put it past the vicious little cunts, but I don't speak asshole-bee. So I can neither confirm nor deny the rumors.

But by all means, go out and swat a few during the day when you have an unreachable nest nearby (my nest was in the hollow of the cinder block wall of our garage). As they come for your ass...see if you catch the "yo momma" snaps from them! Good times!

I got stung by one on the top of the thumb two weeks ago. My entire hand swelled up and 12 hours later you could see red streaks along the veins on my arm. A lymph node under my armpit swelled to the size of a small lime. Turns out I’m borderline allergic.

Oh no! Did they give you an epi pen incase they sting you in the throat or anything?

Yes. They prescribed me two of them. I also got a steroid shot at the doctor.
