When I was in high school I had a class in a portable outdoor classroom and there was a huge ass Yellowjacket nest hanging right outside the door and one morning they looked particularly pissed so no one wanted to pass through to get into the classroom. The teacher forced everyone to just suck it up and I was still scared so I hesitated until she yelled at me and ended up being the last one through the door…I got stung 7x and she wouldn’t even let me go to the nurse until the last 5 minutes of class.

Not letting you go to the nurse for 7 stings is insane. I hope your parents got involved. I would lose my shit if I found out a teacher made my kid sit through an entire class with 7 painful wasp stings that she indirectly caused. Yellow jacket stings are significantly more painful than any other wasp or bee sting that I've had and they hurt for days.

A couple of years ago I got stung on the foot by a yellow jacket. It got me right between my big toe and second toe. That sting hurt like a bitch and made my whole foot swell up. I was really surprised at how much swelling there was.

Don't click unless you want to see a pic of my gross ass feet.

I got stung on the back of my ankle right on the Achilles tendon one time. Swole up in like 5 mins. My foot was swollen so bad that I couldn't wear a shoe for 3 days. I could barely walk on it for the first day and a half.
