Did I get stung by a bee?

Can you become more allergic each time you get stung by a bee?

  • i was just wondering if this was fact or fiction - when i was younger i used to swell up for several days after being stung by a bee. thus being said i have not been stung since i was 15 and am now 26 and swelled up for a few days upon the last sting. recently someone was telling me that if you are allergic, each time you get stung, you get more allergic to them? is that true?

  • Answer:

    Yes, it is true. And not only that, next time it could be very serious. Go to an allergist, ASAP...before this coming Spring, and get a skin test. You'll get an Epi-Pen ( which is adrenalin) to use in case you get stung again. Carry it with you at all times,bb!!!

that is a wives tale, you are certainly at the same level of allergic but may have taken in more of the toxin in the bee sting that you are allergic to therefor causing you to swell longer or possibly worse, just treat it as you normally do, and as always if your symptoms worsen or last longer than four days with out noticeable relief then consult a doctor edit: indeed do as brook said as well and consult an allergist about an epi pen, in a bad case it may save your life
