It looked as though every time men turned around (or at least sat down) something caused their little swimmers to go haywire. Too little sun, too much cellphone use. Heated car seats, laptops and darn near anything warm that got anywhere near his nether regions.
The good news....wasp stings aren't a problem.
Wasp stings don't cause infertility
A
possible connection between male infertility and allergy to wasp stings
has been the subject of a recent study by Swiss scientists. The
findings are reassuring, however. Men who have an allergic reaction to
wasp stings should be at no higher risk of becoming infertile than
those who do not, said a statement issued on Sunday by Bern University
Hospital.
The question arose because there is a protein in sperm whose structure is very similar to one found in wasp venom.
So, avoid your laptop, cell phone, briefs, hot tubs, bike seats and go outside, soak up the sun and don't worry about the wasps. I know you're relieved.
How about peanut butter?
