allergic to bees

mudboggTshirts · April 11, 2011, 05:07:40 PM

I have bad reactions to bees...I got stung two days ago...I swell up , area blisters and burns and itches like crazee and a couple of times I have had a red infection line start heading towards me heart...only been in emergency once with them....but the bees are out already!

anybody else have bad bee reactions? and doesn't it seem like once you know you have bad reactions you get stung more than any other time in your life?

I have been keeping ice on it and taking meds......and area has blistered but I think the swelling is going down..A bee stung me on the back of my arm while I was sanding my Jeep..The heat is out of it now so I think I am good!

I do not have this problem, my mother does. She rashes up, gets all swelled around the area, but i have seen several bees out just yesterday.

A couple years ago I went to the doctor for a sore throat that i had for 3 or 4 weeks. Doc decided to send me to get allergy tested. Found out I was allergic to EVERYTHING on their list! I never had a clue. Everything from dust and molds, to dogs and cats. I have been stung a couple times, with no problems, so far. Doctor makes me carry an EPI pen, just in case.

I have an EPI also....but couldn't find it....found it today....still the size of a golfball with blisters but I don't think it is getting any worse....I took allegra this morning and benedryl at noon but makes you soooo sleepy!

my sting spot is still about the same......red swollen and blisters....wish it would start going down so I can quit worrying..doesn't feel as hot tho...probably go back and put ice on it again tonight

my moms like that swells up rash and the whole nine yards. she does the same thing to keeps benadryl on here at all times. she tends to get mad at me tho cuz i dont feel em. a few summers ago i was moeing a cuomers yard and got stung 6 times and didnt feel a thing. didnt know it happened tell my ant seen the black stinges in my arm lol but im sure itll catch up to me tho.....

mudboggTshirts · April 12, 2011, 04:06:02 AM

I just have bad reactions...I haven't died yet

...last year I was shoveling in my flower bed and hit a nest..bees went up my shorts and stung me...that was a time to get excited...this time only one got me and I am watching it...I have an EPI but I know my throats not closing up or anything like that...

Swampthing · April 12, 2011, 01:15:15 PM

My g-f is allergic. her tongue swells up.. throat closes up and she swells up like a balloon. have a epi pen in every ride we have, plus she carrys liquid benadryl in her purse. the liquid works a lot quicker than a pill.

she was never allergic to stings until she was stung by a ball faced hornet

allergic to bees
