The first comic book made its debut in 1802. Called "The Wasp," it made readers smile. In real life insects with stingers aren't funny. Got a nest near your home? Destroy it using a spray made for hives that shoots a stream about 20 feet. Sunset is the best time -- when they're all in the hive. If any escape your onslaught, they won't return. Outdoors, wear light colors and no scented lotion or perfume. If you look or smell like a flower, they'll notice. Also, cover food and, if buzzed, don't swat. Be still, or move away -- slowly. If you do get stung, remember honeybees sting once, leaving their stinger behind. To remove it, scrape sideways (to prevent getting more venom into the skin). Bumblebees, yellow jackets, wasps and hornets have smooth stingers and can sting multiple times. Their venom also attracts others -- so get away fast. Wash with soap and water, use antiseptic and treat pain and itch with lotions and ice. Or dab on ammonia, meat tenderizer or even mud. And that's the On The House tip for today.
