Allergies, which are essentially defects in the imune system, can exhibit
themselves in a broad manner.  I have seen mosquito bites swell up to the
size of a silver dollar on people that have incredibly poor immune
systems.  However, they were never effected by apis stings.  If benedryl
helps then it is an allergic reaction.
