I had always had a reaction to my stings , mostly swelling. Then I started taking antihistamines prior to going into my hives....this helped a lot. One time I decided to pull that weed in front of the hive as I was passing by and got stung twice. Next thing I know I nearly passed out from my blood pressure dropping and I had severe hives.... and a trip to the ER. I miss beekeeping tremendously and wonder if anyone has suggestions? I guess I could just carry an epi pen😅

Did you wear a suit every time you worked bees? I heard of this happening, I let them sting me, I just wear a veil, welcome to BeeSource.

Many people have been able to take it back up after immunotherapy, allergy shots of bee venom to get your body used to the sting.

Get a referral from your primary to meet with an allergist. You can be desensitized

I wore a bee suit sometimes... received many stings through the years.

Thanks I did not know this and I used to work with the head of Allergy Asthma and Immunology!
