Over the years, I've had several employees experience joint pain and problems
walking after being stung in the ankles or feet.  I can't recall having any such
problem myself, and I usually wear sandals while working bees, so I do
occasionally get stung.

Does anyone know what it is about ankles that seems to make them especially
sensitive, or does anyone have any insight into this?
