Traveling is not everyone’s cup of tea; While some enjoy it, others don’t. However, neither is the case for the golf influencer, Paige Spiranac. Although she loves to visit new places and gets to travel a lot due to business needs, she encounters different and uncomfortable health issues every time. 

“It always happens. Every time I travel, it always happens to me.” The ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ for Maxim, shared how her traveling experiences always ended up as a horror movie. Spiranac explained while describing her experience about the time she attended a celebrity golf event in Branson.

Paige Spiranac met with an uncomfortable situation during an event

According to the Colorado native, she wanted to take a stub before everyone came to the course when she realized her “thunder thighs crushed this yellow jacket wasp.” She told the audience of her podcast, “I don’t know what it was, but I crushed it between my legs.” 

Spiranac explained that she could see the wasp crushed there when she opened her legs. “I’m like, oh, no, luckily I’m not allergic,” she added. “But took the stinger out and immediately, shooting pain! The thing was swelling up. And I was like, I don’t know what to do.” 

As a professional, she didn’t want to let anyone know of her discomfort. And thereby, Spiranac ended up not taking care of the issue and left it to burn throughout the event. Notably, the unattended sting led her to have a “completely swollen” leg the next day. 

The golf influencer has been through similar issues whenever she travels

The Branson issue was not the first time Paige Spiranac experienced such issues. According to her ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee’ podcast, she had had a double pink eye before the Derek Jeter event she attended after completing the photo shoot with Maxim.

“They’re things that are not like, luckily, that bad,” she explained her traveling experiences from the past. “But they’re just embarrassing, and it’s uncomfortable enough.” At this point, the former golfer believes that she can’t travel anywhere where everything goes right. 

It is hard to get by when you get these allergic reactions during important events. However, Spiranac’s professionalism helped her while enduring the pain.
