I've been stung twice in the past week by yellow jackets. A week ago Monday on the lip and yesterday (Labor Day) on the hand. I have a fairly strong reaction to being stung, lots of swelling, fortunately nothing more serious than swelling and lots of itching. Add one more time last fall and I'm thinking these guys are ganging up on me. In all three cases I was moving while I was stung. I was right in the road where I belong on my bike, not near food or nesting sites or anything else predictable. So my question is whether cyclists are more prone to stings than the general population. Does our movement create a great vortex and suck them towards us? :}
