Riding home last night, as I crossed the Avonmouth bridge I was suddenly aware of the fuzzy body of a bee on my tongue, a split second later I had spat it out, but the little git had stung me on the tip of my tongue :shock:
Panic sank in instantly... what if Im allergic? What if my tongue swells up and stops me breathing?
I managed to scratch the sting out of my tongue (and put it in a little plastic bag), Ive also managed to scratch a load of skin of my tongue where I was so frantic.
I rang my home rescue, but she didnt answer, so I rode the last 10 miles home with my tongue hanging out, not being able to drink and all a bit shaken up.
Taken some antihistamines, which have helped.
What I dont understand is why a bee was all the way up on top of Avonmouth bridge? Its a long way from anything nevermind flowers etc.

You're in good company - the same thing happening to Bradley Wiggins on last years Tour of Britain when he had to finish the stage with his tongue hanging outCannondale Supersix / CAAD9 / Boardman 9.0 / Benotto 30000

Didn't the same thing happen to John McCain?
