Fire Ant Sting - 2 yr old

Hi,

First of all a big sorry for the delay in moderating your post - there is so
much spam that I have to filter out every day from people selling all sorts of
stuff and sometimes things get lost that really matter.

This is a very worrying allergy and I hope that first of all you are seeing an
allergist that can help you understand what is going on and how it can be
treated.

You are not alone with this problem if you look through this Group there have
been a number of other posters who have had the same problem and also with a
little one - sometimes it is wasp or bee allergy but allergies among children
whose immune system is the most fragile do get these hypersensitivities.

You will have probably learnt that venom immunotherapy does offer a solution to
the problem and hopefully this will put your mind at rest to some degree -
although after what you have been through I doubt anything will ever make you
comfortable again for quite a long time.

There is some information on the website too but please do not hesitate to keep
asking the questions here as we are only too anxious to help.

David
