Amen--and each incident  increases your allergic reaction. I just finsihed 5 
years of shots to reduce my allergy.  I got tested twice. I only reacted a 
little bit to the test, but it continued to swell and itch at the test site 
for 3 days. (I had one sting , and my leg felt like knives stabbing me,and 
it swelled slowly for an hour with ice on it, then I started to itche all 
over and lips to swell , by that time we were headed for the hospital,by the 
time we got there I was breaking into hives.....
 Ah, you can die quick if you are allergic--you may not have time  without 
medication on you to get back to survive.
 Get tested  as soon as possible. No joke here. I have run into people sho 
are allergic and their doctors don't seem to realise or get across to them 
how fast they could ---go--- They act non chalant about it. I guess they 
figure they might have to go see a doctor if they get stung, but the doctors 
aren't impressing them with the seriousness of it. And not everyone has a 
doctor available when out riding miles from nowhere on a horse they  could 
toss them and take off, ,,,
