The suggestion was that the humane thing to have done was to squash the poor thing, which I didn't. I also heard back channel from someone else on this listserve that she had the identical accident with her sandals, i.e. a bee flow in under her uplifted toes in that part of the stride and stung her on her next-to-big-toe (my bee got my big toe). ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
