Oh yes I have ran thru a parking lot appearing as though I was runnin for my life while swinging a notebook frantically and yelling as people watched. And yes, I do consider myself to be a sane person, bees are just scary! lol

I know the origin of my problem. When I was 2 or 3 yrs of age, my mother had me berry picking. She got herself and I into a wasp nest. She ran, and realized that I was not following, so by the time she came back down the row to get me the damage was done. They had stung me up pretty bad. I dont remember getting stung, but I do remember the noise, and the looks of them. The buzzing noise sends chills down my spine. The looks of them are just plain nasty. I hate even really trying to describe the way they look. So thats how I became phobic of these ugly pesty things:)

I also have ocd when it comes to door knobs. Yikes the germs they carry, along with your shopping carts ect. I have carried antibacterial hand wash with me forever. Before the swine flu breakout. Now that I can say my mother has contributed to,lol!!!

im soo scared of them, and the worse thing is that my teachers open the windows and they come and i cant help but freak out and distract the class, omg they terrify me

My family has a trailer that we visit through the summer and its pretty old. We always had one or two wasps get in each year but it wasn\'t really bad. I had never liked wasps but I mean who does. But two years ago a load of wasps got in and built a nest right under my bed! The thing is we didn\'t know about the nest. There were drawers there that we never used so it was perfect for them. After we saw a couple around, my mother sprayed the place and patch up holes and then assured me they were gone. Sure enough that night they attacked and I was stung. So she sprayed again. Then assured me again that they were gone and of course I was stung a couple more times. This happened three nights in a row. The last night it was about 4am and I was awoken by stings again. They were under my shirt and up my pant legs in my hair and flying everywhere. I got stung about 12 times that night. The next day she was so upset she tore the bed up and found the nest. It was huge! It was a little bigger than a basketball. By covering the holes she had actually trapped them in not out. It took all day to kill them. She got the nest out and it filled a plastic bag. It was actually pretty cool to look at. And it was a great story to tell around the campfire for a while. The funny thing is, you would think they would really freak me out now but they don\'t. I find them quite interesting. How strange is that? LoL Their pretty calm if you don\'t swat at them. Maybe you should research them. That might help you with your fears. And besides their stings don\'t hurt that bad..... now moths on the other hand freak me out a little bit.
