Possible to have a delayed honey bee sting reaction? got stung two hours ago now hand is starting to puff up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toxic reaction: Allergic reactions to bee stings tend to occur within minutes. Swelling at the site of envenomation after two hours sounds like a normal toxic reaction to the bee venom.
