Is this a mild allergic reaction to a bee sting?

I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting years ago and suffered allergic shock. What precautions should I tak?

  • I'm not sure whether each bee sting will cause an allergic reaction. Some have not in my case. What precautions should I take?

  • Answer:

    You should definitely be carrying an epi-pen and some benadryl with you whenever you know you will be in an area where there are bees. If you have a confirmed allergy to bee stings, you cannot afford to guess if/when the next reaction will occur. Talk to your doctor, as the epi-pen requires a script. Anaphylaxis is nothing to take lightly. Take care.

Talk to your doctor. Get a prescription for an epi pen. Carry it with you at all times. Learn how to use it and make sure anyone you're with knows you have this allergy. These types of allergic reactions tend to get worse with each exposure, not better. Request allergy testing. It may be that some insect stings don't cause the allergy but others do. It would be in your best interest to find out which so you can minimize your risk. In addition, get a Medic Alert bracelet.

Yes, the Epi-pen is a must to take with you at all times. Make sure you keep it fresh - get another one if it expires. Also, it's important for you to know that using the Epi-pen only buys you time to get to an emergency room. This medication, by itself, is not enough. You still need to seek medical attention.
