For a minute today I thought I was about to seizure while I was out there pruning (dizzy spells where it looked like the ground was moving in 'waves' under my feet, heart palpitations, just a weird 'woozy' feeling), and this occurred right after I'd gotten stung by something. I couldn't find any stingers or thorns of any type stuck in my finger (and it felt like there were several in there) - but it itched, burned, the veins in my hand swelled up, and it stung for a couple of hours each time (got stung twice two days ago, too - only once today). It honestly felt like a bunch of needles were stuck in my finger, and then I noticed one of these on the underside of a leaf. I wondered, too, why the leaves were all curling and falling off...
