My testing is next monday. I'm getting nervous about it all. I've nearly been stung twice in the last week because of the stupid wacky weather we're having....
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...
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 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...
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....

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...
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...
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. ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
... 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...
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...

... 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
