A member asked:
Can someone develop wasp allergies over lifetime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I have seen new venom allergies in all ages. It often has to do with exposure to the stinging insect and development of antibodies that cause the reaction. If you have had a bad reaction or are concerned that you have wasp allergies, consult an allergist who can do the appropriate evaluation.
