How to know if i have a mild bee allergy or a full blown one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on symptoms: We break this down into 2 types: Localized reactions: contiguous with where the sting occurred (if on your arm and only your arm is swollen/itchy) Systemic reactions: Multiple non-contiguous sites (your arm is stung and your leg is swollen) or other organs are involved (wheezing, throat swelling, hypotension etc.) For systemic reactions or if you're not sure give Epinephrine immediately and 911
