Well, the cutout for Sunday didn't go exactly as planned (no, the ambulance and chest pains were not factored in originally). Fiance' got nailed about 12 - 15 time (his estimate) in the wrists, as a less then happy clump of bees fell down the cuff of his glove. I don't know if one bee got him in a vein or he just didn't remove all the vein sacs or he panicked which just made bad that much worse, but he got bad chest pains, changed about 4 color, and went numb to the point for a hospital run. Diagnosis is anaphylactic shock. We are working on getting an appointment with an allergist to sort things out, but I am looking for information from the other side. Now, I know that when I have gotten stung a bunch, I can get a headache, feel nausea, etc, and it subsides in a bit. This year, I haven't had near the symptoms as last year. Talked with a friend today about it, he's been stung up to 35 times in a short period of time and had similiar symptoms that I did, but not to the point of chests pains and such. What are the chances that this is a fluke? That this is going to end his beekeeping adventures? Experiences? Questions for the allergist? Etc?
Thanks for listening!
