    It's the beginning of wasp sting season again, not got stung yet but I'm sure it's coming. I find lots of critters digging thru scrap heap and in cars, but mainly hornets and wasps. God I hate getting stung but no pain, no gain !

    Check your deoderant, if its got a Eugenol or Clove oil sort of substance in it, it may be that its your deoderant that causing the problem....

    Clove oil & cinnamon oil have eugenol in it, Eugenol is a wasp & bee attractant.
    It took me a decade of being the only one to get stung in a group of people for me to find that out..........

    Also, it covers up the male tetesterone smell which may account for something else....

    Benzaldehyde, Almond oil maybe/is a bee repellant

    Oh my ! Hope that bee attracting stuff ain't in old spice ! But seriously wasps and hornets love to build nests exactly where I will find them. In cars they love to build in any space around doors, hood, or trunk or basically every place I'm gona be looking in. In scrap plies , count on finding them anywhere and everywhere

    Might be worth carrying a can of wasp/bug spray with you and give it a quick shot before you open it.
