I agree with MsLipGloss! Go see your PCP or go to Urgent Care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932851 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:48:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 932851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: You should go to the ER/Urgent Care or at least call you PCP! (((hugs))) doll, that really stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932845 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:47:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 932845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just threw up.</p> <p>Dr. Google tells me this is in fact a severe allergic reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932523 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:33:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 932523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: my husband is allergic - but his throat has never swelled (I don't think), but like @MsLipGloss said, the first time he was stung he was fine (as a child) - second time, some swelling, third time (a couple years ago!) LOT of swelling. we don't have an epi pen or anything but I make him avoid bees like the plague! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932515 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:31:16 +0000 IRunForFun 932515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! Is Benadryl considered safe during pregnancy? If so, you should take some to minimize swelling and other reactions. You can still be allergic (I think) without having a full on anaphylactic reaction. Plus, allergic reactions can get worse with repeated exposure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932510 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:30:15 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 932510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ah that sucks!! maybe you have a slight allergy?</p> <p>I got stung in Costa Rica on our honeymoon for the first time! I cried! lol. it wasn't that bad though, but it was also on my finger and scared me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932504 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:29:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 932504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: oh man youre lucky about only one sting.....I have probably been stung 10-15 Times!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932502 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:28:27 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 932502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I always thought I was since I have always reacted very strongly (my mom is extremely allergic), but everyone told me that throwing up and swelling didn't mean I was allergic....I was only allergic if my throat swelled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932490 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:26:27 +0000 matador84 932490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and it stinks. Can you take some benadryl? Call your doctor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932482 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:24:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 932482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I was thinking the same thing . . . I would definitely get it checked out (sometimes reactions can become more potent with subsequent exposures). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932473 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:24:15 +0000 2PeasinaPod 932473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh...be careful mama! Keep a close eye on it!</p> <p>The last time I was stung was when I was little...and it was a finger as well. My entire hand blew up to twice the size of my other hand! Bees don't like me either! Knock on wood...I've been lucky enough to have not been stung since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932471 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:23:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 932471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>holy crap! are you allergic? that does not sound like a normal reaction!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-got-stung-by-a-bee#post-932457 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:21:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 932457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And my finger is at least two inches wide right now. It is sooooooo swollen, and turning blue-ish!!</p> <p>Do you react strongly to bee stings? Last time I got stung, I ended up with a nine-inch bruise across my leg and I threw up a few times after getting stung. My body doesn't like bee stings. </p>
