Patrick McManus describes to basic styles of panic. A FBLP (Full Bore Linear Panic) and a FBSP (Full Bore Stationary Panic). If you get one sting, the appropriate responce, right after an expletive, is a FBSP. After thinking things through if you are getting more stings, make sure you are not on a ladder and there is nothing to trip over (move carefully to where there is nothing to trip over or climb down the ladder) and then do a FBLP.
