Had reaction to yellowjackets or bumble bees as child. nothing till today when had intense itchy bumps. could i be allergic to insect sting?

Yes you could: Before you get stung again and have a potentially nasty reaction, why not visit your allergist for re-testing. You might want to have antihistamines on hand.
