Hello all,

Brief history:

Six year old son. Real outdoorsy. Stung half a dozen times before
without incident. At a pumpkin patch field-trip in October with
school he got stung behind the ear and his ear and neck swelled up
like a grapefruit. Allergy testing just done today and he is super
allergic to yellow jackets.

End of history

I'm new to this as neither wife nor I are allergic to anything. I
did a google search and am a bit overwhelmed at all the information
out there about insect allergies. Can someone recommend some good
sites to start with. My head is full of questions, but I don't know
what to ask or where to start.

We, (as a family), are always outdoors or hiking, or swimming, or
playing. We have a summer cabin in the wilderness where the kids go
to for weeks during the summer and that's where my son has been stung
before. Should we be getting our other son tested as well?

Any information references that people feel would be helpful would be
appreciated.

Thank you.
