 I can find no evidence to back it up.  Can you justify it, Bob?

Dr. Steve Carlston MD told us at his presentation at the ABF convention  in
Kansas City ( bee stings and venom) a sting in an artery could cause more of
a problem (anaphylaxis) than a sting in other areas of the body.

The same question was asked and he said a sting could easily penetrate the
large veins of the arm on people with pronounced veins.

All I know. I can't remember getting a vein sting.
