When I was a little guy running around in the woods with bare feet, I stepped into a yellow jacket hole.

One yellow jacket sting is no too bad but they swarmed up into my pants legs and stung me hundreds of times all the way up to and including my balls.

I ran home squalling and my Mama put me in the bathtub with warm water and dumped a box of Arm and Hammer soda in.

The Doc said it saved my life by counteracting the acid in the venom.
