Yahoo News Mum stung '108 times' as 'angry wasps' invade Midlands park
A mum was left in hospital after being stung '108 times' by 'angry wasps' during a family trip to the park. And she has thanked runners and walkers who came to help her during the incident.
BirminghamLive reports how she was at the city's Sutton Park with her mother and daughter when she came under attack. She ended up having to go to hospital where doctors gave her steroids and antihistamines for her stings. In addition she says her own mum required an 'epinephrine injection' by paramedics.
The woman says a group of 'kind' runners and walkers helped to look after her daughter while she went to look for her bag and phone that she had lost while fighting to keep the wasps off them.

In an anonymous post on Facebook, she wrote: "Me and my mum wanted to say a huge thank you to the people who helped us in Sutton Park on Wednesday morning. We were walking along from the Jamboree Stone towards Banners Gate, through the trees and grass on a path, and unfortunately somehow walked into a path of angry wasps.
"Some kind runners, stopped to help and called an ambulance and some other walkers stopped and helped look after my little girl and go back towards where the wasps were to find my bag and phone that I lost trying to frantically get the wasps off my daughter and then me. They even got stung themselves, so I'm so incredibly grateful for your support and help."
She continued: "I ended up having to go to hospital for steroids and antihistamines and we counted 108 stings on me (not including the ones on my head that we can't see properly under my hair). And my mum is covered in stings too. I'm just so thankful these people called an ambulance and then got the ambulance to our location on foot to give my mum an epi injection."
The woman asked those who came to their aid to 'make themselves known' so she could send them a little gift to say thank you.
