What I was trying to get across was that specific conditions can cause reactions that
are not typical of an individuals normal reaction.  I got about the same number of
stings in TWO ankles and one swelled up the other did not.  I do not normally react to
stings except for a small red dot.  Within minutes it fades away.  I have gotten
hundreds of stings both before and after the events I described.  It was a very specific
and abnormal (for me) reaction.  It only happens in one ankle, it has happened twice.
Never ANY meaningful reaction anywhere else.
 
In other words - don't jump to conclusions.  Check it out.
