Narrative

While washing the outside of the cable shop with a water hose, he felt something crawling on his head below the rim of the hard hat. Attempting to remove the bug, he felt something ""get him"". He was stung by a wasp in the webbing next to the pinky finger on his right hand. He was taken to the ER, given meds for swelling & infection. Unable to return his next shift due to swelling.
