I have a friend with a life-threatening allergy to wasp stings. He once
nearly killed himself in a truck when a wasp got into the cab and he
immediately forgot that he was driving while attending to this new threat.

I often wondered if there are any pilots with this condition. It always
seemed to me that it would be fairly common for wasps to get into those
70's Cessna cockpits.
Yes there are (at least one).I am that lucky person.
I plug the air inlets in the wing root of my C150 with those
plastic scouring pads made of curly plastic strings woven
into a ball.I have had a couple of interesting sessions with
bees in the cockpit.
