Okay, so I checked my hive today and got stung on my ankle and on my thigh four times (yes, I had a suit on). I always react with a lot of swelling and redness as much as 6 inches from bee sting, but never like this.
After being stung today I got inside as quickly as I could and my feet, palms, and scalp were itching terribly. I felt dizzy and my tongue felt numb. I hurried up and took two benadryl while deciding if I needed an ER visit or not. When I saw hives and redness develop on my entire body, I drove right to the ER. At this point, it felt funny to swallow.
After about 20 mins from being stung, I was completely swollen from head to toe and bright red and full of hives. My heart rate was about 120 in the ER. An IV and steroids later... I'm debating if I should continue this hobby.
I have two hives on our property... what are your thoughts? What would you do? I've never reacted like this before...EVER.
