I just got stung while hanging laundry. I think it was a hornet - we have lots of them. We also have rattlesnakes but they run (?) from us faster than we do from them. I have a little venom sucker which I got for the occasional scorpion bite. I average about one bite a year and they can be nasty. I used the sucker after one bite and it pulled out a visable drop of venom. It might be good to have one carry around with you when the snakes are active. katie
