I'm not allergic and I've never been stung.

Nor am I afraid of being stung. I'm just irrationally scared of wasps and have a panic attack when I'm near one.

Given the choice between a wasp and a speeding car, I will always jump in front of the latter before I've even thought about what I'm doing.

I can't relax if I'm eating outside in the summer, or on a beach, and going to a theme park is simply traumatising.

Basically, it ruins my life.
