Although this comment does not relate to Kurt's symptoms, I want to 
alert readers to a problem related to Lisinopril, a high blood 
pressure medication, and a single honeybee sting.  While taking 
Lisinopril, I had a single sting on the cheek in front of the ear and 
within 24 hours both eyes were swollen closed.  However, I did not 
experience any breathing difficulties or other abnormal 
symptoms.  The Physician explained that I was having an anaphylactic 
reaction to Lisinopril and prescribed another high blood pressure 
medication.  Now, when I receive a honeybee sting, I experience 
slight pain and redness with negligible swelling.
