Great, apparently I am allergic to bee's

[Pancho Villa]

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
