A member asked:
If i have large local reactions to wasp stings am i at increased risk of having an anaphylactic reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low chance: The literature reports that about 5-10 percent of adults who have had a large local reaction to a specific type of stinging Insect are at risk for anaphylaxis with a future sting, so this is a low chance.
