I mentioned in the Poison Ivy thread that I recently discovered that I apparently have a pretty severe allergic reaction to wasp stings.
I developed an extremely uncomfortable itch ALL over my body, hives showed up about an hour after I got stung, and a little bit of chest pain. I didn't have any issues with breathing or slowed/sped up heart rate so I don't think I was dealing with anaphylaxis..
Anyway, the reason I'm posting here is to try and glean some more information. One thing I can't figure out is why I would just spontaneously develop this ****ing allergy in the first place..
I've been stung by bees and wasps in the past and never had an issue. The last time I got stung by a wasp I was roughly 11 and only had to deal with my hand swelling up to twice it's size. About two months ago I was stung by a bee and only had a slight pain. Did the exposure to that bee sting make me allergic to all bee/wasp/hornet venom?
GIVE ME ANSWERS, FOLLOWERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ORDER.
