You're asking and I'm answering . . .

Spring is the season of the birds and the bees, and unfortunately bee stings are a part of the season. According to the
Mayo Clinic the range of reactions to the venom of a sting is variable depending on how sensitive you are, but that only a small percentage of folks experience severe (read: anaphylaxis) response to stings and bug bites in general. Most of us experience itching, a stinging sensation and mild swelling that disappears after a day or two.
