A member asked:
Got bit by something in the grass, last time (a year ago) i broke out in hives but it disappeared in a few hours. im breaking out in hives again after getting bit again, so i took benadryl. should i be concerned?

Be concerned as the next allergic reaction to the same insect bite could be much more serious. Wasps' stings are very common causes of allergic reactions. Always carry benadryl with you,especially when outdoors. I recommend consulting an allergist to possibly help you find out what insects you're allergic to and what is best to do about your allergy.
