Histamine release: If you are allergic to bees, when you are stung their venom is injected into your bloodstream....Then your body reacts by releasing histamine and other chemicals...This causes the allergic reaction. See an allergist for a complete history and possibly skin testing. After any sting(even mosquito etc) wash with alcohol or soap/water and apply cortisone cream..Maybe evn take an anti-histamine.
