Is a yellow jacket just another name for a wasp?? liz ........ As for yellow jackets, they become especially aggressive as fall approaches. A few years ago I was mowing, and came too near one of their underground nests. Several attacked me, and drove me into the house. I waited inside for about half an hour, and when I decided to get back to work, they were still waiting for me at the door! I had to use a different exit to go back outside. If stung, the best remedy I have found is to apply moistened baking soda to site of the sting. That also helps greatly with the stings of the hornets who build those large, paper nests. I once had a dog who was stung by them several times on the nose, and the baking soda trick worked well for him, too. He seemed very appreciative for the relief. — Paul ------=_NextPart_000_00A6_01C9DBDC.153EE020 Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-1252" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.18702"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY=20 style=3D"WORD-WRAP: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space"=20 bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial>Maybe a stupid question...
