WASPS: Some of the wasps are huge, much larger than any I have seen at home in Finland. I once tried to wave one of these away from buzzing around my face while I was eating, and it stung me immediately.
It stung me on the throat, and I was afraid Iīd get an allergic reaction.
To my amazement it didnīt hurt much, neither was there any kind of skin reaction. Later somebody told me that the huge Corfiot wasps are not nearly as poisonous as those we have at home. I donīt know whether this is the scientific truth, but it certainly seemed that way to me.
(If you know from before that you are dangerously allergic to wasps, this does not, of course, apply. Then do as your doctor has told you.)
As to what one can do about wasps...
Rule 1: Never shoo them away or irritate them in any way.
Rule 2: If there are wasps, we lay the table for them, giving them a plate of their own, with a morsel or a few drops of something sweet on it. Honey or fruit are best, but youghurt, a sweet drink. even fish or meat will also do. Just leave them in peace to enjoy their meal. It works!
