About those stings...  If this is something new I might be a bit wary as
sensitization may be occuring, instead of the de-sensitization one reads
about over the course of multiple exposures.  I myself am allergic to any
type of insect bite (localized swelling, pain, etc) and wasp stings are the
worst- my face puffs up like a balloon but no anaphylactic-type
reaction...

Of course, this does not stop me from keeping bees...

When I get stung by the girls (through my suit or gloves) I take the
following:  generic Claritin, generic Zantac and generic Benadryl...   One
of each taken together works for me, along with a couple ibuprofen.

Be careful and put on some gloves to reduce exposure...
