A month ago a friend was stung by a honey bee. He had minor swelling and itching. A week later he rather suddenly had hives over his whole body and lots of swelling and needed to go to the ER. He was given prednisone and responded well. That night he started swelling in his neck and face and needed to go back to the ER. He has been doing fine since. I was coaching his wife, a beginning beekeeper, and she now feels she can no longer keep bees. The week delay seemed very odd and I am wondering if something else, combined with the earlier sting, didn't bring on the reaction.
