Hi Friends,
Thanks for all the well wishes. I’m feeling better and will open up tomorrow morning. It appears that a fuzzy black caterpillar might have been the culprit, but I’m not positive about that.  After searching around a bit on the internet, I discovered that many fuzzy caterpillars are venomous. Who knew? Anyway, an anaphylactic reaction is no fun. I do not recommend it. I’ll be wearing my gardening gloves a lot more often now and will keep an epi-pen handy. A big thank you to my dear friend Joy who rushed to my aid when called. The Lebanon Township Police, the Rescue Squad and the paramedics did a great job. I am grateful to all of them.
Tomorrow looks like a beautiful day. I’m looking forward to being in the garden. I hope you’ll get a chance to be outside too. And remember, be careful out there!
Nora, I was stung by one of these guys over the weekend: http://insects.about.com/od/butterfliesmoths/ig/Stinging-Caterpillars/Saddleback-Caterpillar.htm
I didn’t even know getting stung by a caterpillar was possible before. Watch out out there!
Glad to hear you’re OK! See you soon.
Take care,
MJ
