I think he's likely ok but, like you said, you won't know until next time. Given that he's only 11 months though, I think I'd metnion it to your doctor the...
Thank you for your query and yes we can understand your concern. It is a good thing to read the website and hopefully you will see that for the vast majority...
Hiya! I was stung by 'something' in the garden last tuesday. It was extremely painful, like a red hot needle going deep into my abdomen. As I was carrying one...
Hi Sun, I feel so sorry for you and you have come to the right place for questions and answers! Having an experience like this is a real emotional and...
Hey Sun Well, Bless your heart Sweetie!! It sure sounds like your had an anaphylactic reaction! Could the 'wheels' have been hives? I found that taking an...
I agree with the others, sounds scary to me and like something you want to take up with your GP. I know a lot of times the A&E people don't take allergies as...
Hi Robin Thanks for the reply, yes I do mean hives, just on my arm and also directly after the sting on my abdomen. I didn't realise that the sting could take...
Thinking about my shopping list what do you recommend I carry around? and is there a wasp/insect trap I can place around the garden? I don't want to over do...
Thank you for the info David :-) The only reason I thought it wasn't anaphylaxis was because I thought it would have been quicker and more fatal if you see...
Hi Cate ... No, it was me that thought it wasn't, because I thought anaphylatctic reaction was more serious and more sudden. They didn't actually say much...
Hi Sun, Poor you..your reaction sounds identical to the reaction that my son had when he was stung. Not an immediate collapse but a sort of long strung-out one...
Today was a good example of the fear. I spent 10 minutes standing on the street waiting to take my groceries out of the back of my van while a wasp flew in...
... lol! I bet you get used to strange looks? and how come you didn't run away? ... ok, that helps actually, I don't want folk to think I'm milking it, but I...
LOL. I didn't run away because the back of the van was open. I didn't want to shut the stupid thing in the van. LOL> SO there I stood ;) I am just awaiting...

... Thanks for the pics, Sun. I understand what you mean by the red line, and yes, that does look like a wasp sting, and a very bad reaction!!! I think the...
Hiya Robin and Everyone :-) ... Do you know what the red line is all about Robin? ... I've been reading LOTS including Davids very good site! I must learn not ...
Takes ages for me. Not sure about everyone else. THe last time I was stung about a week later I got the worst headache I've ever had. Nasty and thought I...
Hi Cate! It's funny, the sting itself doesn't look too bad - I mean it's clean and not gunky or anything! but the patch around it is bright read and a circle...
Well, I have a long a sorted story. But here goes. I was stung multiple times as a baby on the face. The next time I was stung I was 12. I was up north at a...
Hey Sun, I hope your feeling a little bit better? I'm sorry your having to go through this :( I'm glad your doctor is being cautious, and the antibiotics...
Hi Sun - nice to meet you. I've not been online for a week or so (Mum is in hospital), agree with the others re your reaction being an anaphalactic one. ...
I have never understood why there are no window screens in europe. It drove me batty when we lived oh so briefly in Oxforshire. It is something I'd have to...
I do run as well and I have found that the best epipen carrier is the medipouch which holds the epipens horizontally on its own belt. I also have a rubber...
Great suggestions, Maggie; I would offer these additional suggestions: 1 - Trap the bees from about mid-Spring to a month into the Fall. I have caught approx....

Hi Mike, Many thanks for those especially the hat - hadn't thought of that. I have thick longish curly hair and I have been aware of insects touching it, I...
Hi, I was stung by a wasp 10 years ago and suffered a 'systemic' reation which required a visit to A&E, strong antihistamines for a week plus painkillers. I...

Hi Rebekah! You can never predict the future with complete certainty, but I would say that you are unlikely to have another systemic reaction. Your local...
