Andrew Powell said his back was a 'carpet of wasps' after he returned from a bike ride.
A man who was stung 240 times by a swarm of wasps has said his local hospital saved his life. Andrew Powell, a festival organiser who lives near Brecon, Powys, said he was in 'agony' after he was stung on Sunday. The 57-year-old told Sky News he had just returned from a bike ride and was feeding the chickens when the wasps 'swarmed at '. 'By the time I got to my back gate, which is probably four seconds, I was covered,' he said.
'Otherwise, I wouldn't have got there in the car I don't think, because I was going in and out of consciousness,' he said. 'If there's no MIU , I wouldn't be here'. The MIU in Brecon is currently open 24 hours, seven days a week, but from September it will temporarily reduce its hours to 8am to 8pm. There have been calls locally for Powys health board's proposals to be scrapped.
