A member asked:

Reaction to bees once before. so can people develop wasp allergies at a later time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: But bee and wasp venom is different so because you reacted to one does not mean you will react to the other. You can however develop allergies to wasps, just like any other individual.
