Ditto here. I'm guessing because of the increased blood pressure.
I'm in agreement with Bob--those of us who get stung a couple of dozen times
every single day simply don't hear of reactions happening.
And like Pete--if I don't get my quota of bee venom, my body simply does not
feel "right."
Re reactions in sideliners, anecdotally, I hear of most unusual reactions
when stings are above the shoulders.
I have also seen a number of helpers experience heat prostration when
wearing coveralls, veil, and gloves on hot days.
Here's something that I've played with a bit. To give oneself a tiny dose
of bee venom, simply remove a stinger from a bee with tweezers, and a drop
of venom will appear at the end. You can then rub that drop onto your skin
to give yourself a tiny dose. If you drag the stinger across your skin, you
can increase the dose.
