I'm irrationally afraid of bees, yellow jackets, wasps, etc.... I was either in the my 30s or late 20s when I first got stung. I was lying on one of those pool mats in the pool with my eyes closed, when I felt a tingling on my toes. Knew it was a bug, shook my foot a little bit to try and scare it off, but it came right back, so I shook my foot harder, then it stung me on the arch of my foot.
