A member asked:
Is it true that one can only tell if allergic to bee stings after the second time being stung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Bee sting allergy is diagnosed by a patient having been sting and having an allergic reaction. The patient is then skin tested to verify the sensitivity. Patients can have their "first sting" and have an allergic reaction.
