> Why should one sting react and the others not react all within minutes of each other?

I have had the same thing happen to me, and on more than one occasion. Usually, they are on opposite sides of my body. I may have a group of stings on one side, and a single sting on other hand or arm and it's the secondary location that reacts.

So, regional pooling? Perhaps antigen variation at the more-reactive site? Again, I would defer to an immunologist here.
