Great, apparently I am allergic to bee's

[stevelkinevil]

Little bastard got me on the foot, I went to the urgent care after my sons football game because my foot had swollen twice its normal size and hurt like hell. They then insisted on an uber expensive ambulance ride. After several shots and several hours my foot still looks like this and hurts, but at least the whole body itching is gone and the swelling in my throat went away.

Glad you're OK. Anaphylactic shock is nothing to mess with! Might want to start keeping a "bee sting kit" with you.

They prescribed me an epi-pen, strangest thing, my dad is deadly allergic but I have been stung before when I was young a couple times and nothing happened, suddenly this time I got all messed up.

[glock21]

Ive been stung a couple hundred times. My Dr. Tells me to keep playing with fire and im gonna get burned. Im not allergic now but anytime i can be.

[Great-Kazoo]

I carry an epi AND some benadryl gel caps. To much ins is never too much, when it comes to your life.

The cost of the of the ambulance ride is way cheaper than you dieing.

Is this what a "honey boo-boo" is???

Contrary to popular belief, you grow INTO allergies, not out of them. They usually worsen with each new encounter, so if you encounter this again, your reaction will be more severe. Keep that epi-pen with you!

Yep. My mother has about 90 seconds to get that shot in her at this point. 10 years ago it was 2 hours.

I see what you did there[Beer][ROFL1]

Have a friend whose kid has severe peanut allergies (as in, eat peanuts, get that epi pen out because it's gonna get life-threatening fast.)

Not fun at all. I'm glad I don't yet have any allergies like that.

Heard the story of an old lady who shows up at the hospital, severe allergic reaction to peanut butter...says she ate a PB&J every day the last umpteenth years. Weird!

[stevelkinevil]

Thanks for the support fellas, most of the swelling is gone this morning so I'll likely make work tomorow. Gotta tell you though I really hate the Idea of garnering a new weakness, guess I better get a few more epi pens for my BOB, weak.

man that is one ugly foot " that thing could pass as big foot's foot" glad you are ok[Beer]

Something similar here. Turns out it was an antibiotic that i developed an allergic reaction to. Took it as prescribed for years when bronchitis reared it's head. One day was too many for me.

Include with the epipen and benedryl gel caps, a small bottle of liquid benedryl.

My cousin just found out that he is allergic to shellfsih. His wife has been making clam chowder and various other clam dishes over the last 4 years, but the last two times has made him throw up, violently, just a few hours after consuming.

I'm allergic to bee stings too, and I carry the kit everywhere.

Since we moved to our place in 1994, I've been stung by a scorpion, a yellow jacket, and several times by bumble bees who had made a home in my tractor.

Every time I used an aspirin poultice, and had no reaction. Takes the sting out immediately, too, even the scorpion.

We keep a mortar and pestle in the kitchen with some aspirin crushed up in it. Just wet that and apply to the sting. Instant relief! In a pinch, just grab an aspirin, wet it and apply.

[sniper7]

glad you are alright. at least you will be prepared now.

[rondog]

Thank God I'm only mildly allergic to stuff like wheat dust, some grasses, cat dander, shit like that. Glad you're OK! I've known guys that were deathly allergic to stings and scared shitless of wasps, hornets and bees. If they're against a window I usually smash 'em with my wallet, back of my hand or whack 'em with a hat. Pre-emptive strikes work best on the fawkers, if possible.

good tip, thanks i will try it. Gotta tell ya it hurt like hell and the percocette they gave me didn't make a dent, whiskey once I got home took the edge off nicely though. [Beer]

They usually prescribe some pretty weak stuff... I still haven't been to the ER for stings (even though I have it pretty bad)- I guess that avoidance works!- even when my friends and family call me a pussy when I leave any location where a stinging insect is... I'd rather be a pussy than have to jam an Epi-Pen into my thigh. [Coffee]

Strange you say that. I grew up horribly allergic to cats, but after 4 years with my girlfriend->fiance->Wife's cat, I'm not nearly as allergic to them anymore. The only issue I have now, is if I touch my eyes after petting him, I get puffy/itchy.

I've got that one. Violent headache soon followed by hugging the porcelain.

Thank doG its the only meat that does that.
