dpc said:I've only been stung by a bee once. It produced a mild and fleeting reaction, although a bit concerning. My breathing became difficult for a few short seconds. I had a major reaction after eating some wildflower honey a few months ago. My lips swelled like sausages. I ended up in the hospital overnight and was given an epipen. Am I allergic to bees or not. I guess I'm on my way to an allergist to find out. I've been stung my wasps several times. No problem...
