Not a doctor, but my advice is to go see one. Get an epipen. I know it costs $$, but you never know what may happen, to you or someone around you.
First time I got stung, it didn’t affect me at all. Exactly 1 week later, it itched like crazy for several days. For the next year or so, every time I was stung, the itching was immediate and it lasted several days. After a while and several hundred stings later stings later, the itching decreased when I was stung. My VA doc ordered an allergy test and found I was slightly allergic to bees. On a scale of 1 to 6, 6 being the most allergic, I was a 2 for bees. Never had a systemic reaction, but I do have an epipen on hand if the worst happens. I feel like you can’t be too careful.
I’ve learned that if I get the stinger out ASAP, the sting doesn’t affect me too much. If stung around the face, and the stinger stays in a while, I can get very mild local swelling, but nothing bad.
