Yikes! Glad I don't drink soda!!! I knew a lady who grabbed a drink in her sons car thinking it was his soda- someone threw cigarette butts in it! Eeeeeeeee!!!

To avoid the possibility of being stung, always blow firmly into your bottle or can before drinking anything that has been sitting outside. The pressure of your breath taking up the space in the container will quite often force the intruder to leave the premises. ;-)

I have done this before but luckily wasn't stung. I have been stung inside the mouth though (while riding my bike). And yes, I am allergic. It was not a fun experience and is very scary.

The DH from a friend swallowed several bees out of a soda can he left unattended on the deck. Bad news he had to be hospitallized. I am glad you are OK.

And don't leave one open at a party. I went to take a drink of my soda once and someone had put out there cigarette in my can! I almost barfed. Yuck. I am glad you are ok. That would not have been fun.

Glad you weren't stung!

Glad you weren't stung. Being allergic is no fun. I am so allergic to bees that I can't even eat anything with honey in it. The last time put me on a ventilator for a week!
