Brecon man stung 250 times by wasps fears stepping outside

He added: “The pain is still horrendous. Every day I’m finding more and more stings.

“There are 50 on one side of my buttock that I didn’t realise were there because I was so focused on my chest and back.

“I’ve got 20 on the back of my head, 20 on my neck and my wife counted more than 80 on each arm.”

Richard Jones, a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, said he suspected that the nearby farm machinery may have disturbed the nest.

“The trouble is, a wasps nest at the height of season, you may 5-10,000 insects in there.

“If the wasp nest is disturbed violently and vigorously, and out they come looking for whatever’s done this, they will attack the first thing that they find.

“Normally if you get away from one or two that’s fine, the moment they start stinging you, the moment you start batting, squashing and disturbing them, they release a scent that aggravates the others in the cloud.

“You are effectively labelled, they will then target you and I think that’s what happened in this case,” he told BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show.
