Who is allergic to hornets, wasps or bees?

That's because I'm allergic to MARVEL too! Those symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and a strong desire to slit my own wrists.

Go see your Doctor, and have him write you a prescription for a EPI PEN. Its a self injector that will give you the medicine from going into anaphalactic shock if you get stung again and can't get to the ER in time.

My wife is allergic to Bees etc.. and we always make sure we have one with us, when we are outside.

Good advice. Like Aussie-Rebooted says, the reaction is an accumulative thing which means it takes a few stings for your body's immune system to adjust. Get that Epi-Pen and learn how to use it. But benadryl works well for the minor reactions.

I'm allergic, but my dad was a bee-keeper up until last year, so bees and I figured out our differences early on. I honestly can't remember the last time I was stung, maybe '86 or so. I remember I do swell up something fierce, and the pills knock me out almost immediately.
I carry a can of spray in the work truck, wasps love disconnect boxes and AC condenser units, but as long as you can remain calm they generally won't sting you.

I know I'm going to get stung tomorrow... the bees are monitoring my posts.

^^dont you feel like that, tho? like they know what's going on and ready to take you out? im glad to read that its not just me this kind of stuff happens too....

I wasn't dying or having a serious life threatening reaction. My lady was the one freaking out about my arm swelling up and I went to the ER just to make sure stuff was OK.

I don't think I need the Epi-Pen or anything like that. I think maybe I just have a minor irriatation to bee stings. It felt like a cigarette being burned on my arm.
