But, no fever.
I was doing yard work yesterday, and got stung by some paper wasps. One got me on the back of my right hand (looks like three times), and the other on my temple. My right hand looks like Mickey Mouses’ hand, and it’s red and itchy. I hope the swelling goes down soon.
That sounds awful, have you checked a good medical site for what you can do? I tend to like and trust WEBMD.
(I opened the thread thinking this was related to The Wall)
Yeah, basically, just wait it out.
I didn’t go into anaphylactic shock, so I’m not really concerned at this point, but it really looks scary (like Wolowitz after eating peanuts).
Good is scary visual. Good luck, hopefully it gets back to normal quickly.
Yikes! Benadryl will help.
My hand did that once after a bee sting. I was heavily pregnant, which might be why my body over reacted. Can’t remember now (this was nearly 23 years ago) if I called the doctor - I probably did due to the pregnancy, since it’s wise to be a little more cautious then - but I definitely didn’t go to hospital, so if I did call the doctor they must have said something like don’t worry unless you get other symptoms.
I think it went down significantly overnight and was back to normal a day or two later.
It really was impressive to look at! Literally looked like my hand was a washing-up glove someone had blown air into. If yours is like that you should take photos.
You asked for it…
Yup, that’s pretty impressive! Bodies are bizarre things sometimes, aren’t they?
Hope it does go down soon. I assume you’re checking your temperature.
Yup, that’s Wolowitz.
You can’t explain, we would not understand.
Yikes! Aren’t you glad it wasn’t the left hand, the one with the ring? 
That happened to somebody in the field while doing archeology. The jungle has all manner of biting and stinging things.
I called them Mickey Mouse hands.
Fortunately, that’s a silicone ring - I was wrecking my wedding ring on the knurling of the weight bars at the gym, so I got this rubber one.
But, that’s one of the real dangers of getting stung on the hand - having to cut the ring off if there is too much swelling.
Believe me - so does Arizona!

First thing I thought of when I saw the thread title!
Same for me.
That was the plan…
Thought so, as you started with no fever. Well played!
@beowulff But is your hand prickly and warm or is it…comfortably numb?
I’m sorry, I couldn’t not do it…
