The most painful bug bite/sting you've had

Yellow Jacket sting hurts like a mo fo. Back in 2013 I mowed over their nest. They came swarming out of the ground and I got stung 4 times. I ended up going to the clinic a week later to get a steroid shot because the swelling had barely gone down.
TIger snake
Tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) are a large and highly venomous snake of southern Australia, including its coastal islands and Tasmania.
Where exactly were you when you got bit and how did you survive it?
I was stung once when I was young, normal bee sting but really did hurt.
Yep hence of seeing them Xd
I saw a damn long snake crossing the road outside my own home while getting in the car
Sorry but what does this have to do with the OP question?
Probably a horse-fly.. It got infected and I did the typical bloke thing of "it'll be fine.. it'll get better by itself"
My work colleague saw it and demanded that I went to A&E immediately. It turned out that I had borderline Septicemia. Fun.

nothing
Just as I thought. Thank you.
I think it's a scorpion ? sting when I was just 7 years old but the memory and pains is still fresh like it happened yesterday. It's the most painful feeling I have ever had in my life.
I once got stung 6 times on the back by yellow jackets, they had built their next near the front door so when I slammed the door they attacked me. I was on my way to the gym with a friend and we actually got on the treadmill for about 20 minutes before I told my friend that I did not feel good. I looked in the mirror and my chest, arms, and back we covered in hives. Turns out I am actually allergic to wasps, bees, and fireants.
My brother is too and almost died from the allergic reaction. He now carries an EpiPen wherever he goes. Did your reaction require medical attention?
Yes they gave me two shots on the butt one steroid and the other... I don't remember. I remember feeling so uncomfortable that I told the nurse don't give me a heads up, don't count, just do it. lol
Do you have to now carry an EpiPen like my brother does?
...I should. I haven EpiPen, but I don't carry it around with me as often as I should. If I know I will be outdoors like hiking or camping I make sure to have it.
Mosquito bites in China. We do have mosquitos in my country, but the bites of these insects in China are quite different.
