My Bee Sting

Would you believe I was stung by a bee?  On the beach, in Mexico...I was running towards the water and all of a sudden....something stung me.  I didn't know it was a bee, but Dad saw something on my neck and sent me to Mom, who was on the beach watching us.  She looked at my neck and there was this white blob...looked like a large piece of sand, but embedded in my skin.  So of course, she pulled it out.  Then....notice the bee on the back of my rash guard.  The bee wasn't moving anymore.  We packed up and left the beach as soon as we could.  Mom and Dad were not sure if I was going to react to the sting.  We knew it would have happened immediately, but we were on a beach in Puerto Vallarta and they didn't want to take any chances.  Here is the mark left by the bee...

Thank goodness I'm not allergic to bee stings!
