hyper-sensitivity to bee venom

It’s official, straight from the doc. With approximately 30 bee stings in one summer (a few years ago) I’ve become hyper-sensitive to bee-venom, which means every sting I get from now on becomes worse. Check out how ridiculously swollen my foot is – Can you pick which one got stung?

This is now kind of equivalent to being allergic to bees, in which if I get any feeling of hard-to-breathness, dizziness, nauseaness, I should be taken straight to emergency at the local hospital.

  1. I’ve heard of that. Bummer. Indeed, good thing to make all of your friends aware of so that we can make sure you’re taken care of asap if you get stung again :)
