Hi , I am hoping to be part of this group and to begin immunotherapy soon. I think i will need the support to go through it. I discovered i was anaphalactic to...
Hi LIz, A very warm welcome to the Group although naturally sorry you have to be here at all! Talk about being unlucky - twice in a week is very bad luck but...
Hi Liz, What a nightmare you have had - it does leave you very jittery. That does ease to an extent - on this site Winter is voted the most popular season as...
Hi Liz and SO sorry about your luck with the stings. This is certainly the place to come for advice and compassion. We are all at various stages of the sting...
Thankyou to all you who have said hi. I am in New Zealand. I'm thinking that surely there is somewhere in the world where there are no vespids but perhaps not...
Hi Liz, I do watersports such as windsurfing and canoeing and have found you don't get wasps on open water - either that or I am concentrating too hard! Just...

Hi Mike, You are very brave. I am scared that I'll react badly to tretment but will have to see. I can understand about developing panic attacks, after my...
Oh wow, that is just bad luck. Poor you! Welcome to the group. I've gone quite a long time w/o a sting. My record was 22 years and I hope beat that ;) cate...

Hi Mike, My own view is that wasp traps attract the creatures to the house and not away from it and there are many more wasps that do not get caught compared...
First wasp sighting yesterday, here in (foggy) Sussex. On my daughters window-sill (and zapped with hairspray by a protective big sister!) Last year we used...
