Japanese Hornet sting can be painful, itchy

Writer well remembers 2013 experience. Says accidental pinch triggered sting; but notes that the Hornet was after other bugs in barn, not him

Brad Byington writes:
Those hornets are not normally agressive to humans. But as someone who has been stung by one, it was bad. Summer of 2013, in the evening, we had the milk parlor lights on and bugs where being drawn in by the light, including the hornets, but they were after other bugs. One flew from the light, landed on my shirt at the waist, without me knowing it. I bent over to pick up towels to wipe cows and it pinched the hornet. It STUNG!!!! It hurt and itched for a long time, weeks! --Brad Byington
