Ted Wout wrote about his suit and bee stings.
Another possibility is ibuprofen (advil). I read that there can be an
allergic reaction from be stings if you are taking ibuprofen. Did not
think much about it when my Dr. prescribed it for bursitis. Got stung
and had my first allergic reaction since keeping bees- hives and a rash
that came on all sun-exposed skin. It cleared up with anti-allergic
treatments. I cannot be sure that it was not something else, like poison
ivy, but would bet it was the ibuprofen. After I stopped taking it, the
symptoms subsided.
