Hi, I have read up on the archives about allergies and have just a couple of questions. I have kept bees for almost 10 years, and this past september I had what the CHC webpage calls a dangerous reaction that left me in the emergency room. Natually I don't want to give up the bees and I would get allergy shots. I was just wondering how effective they are, past experiences, and for those Canadian beekeepers, the cost of the shots, as I don't have a health plan that would cover them. I now carry an epi pen (which i was shocked to find out they cost over $100 cdn) and I try even harder not to get stung. I haven't been stung since, and wondered if this was a one time thing or is now going to be 'normal' for me. Any advice would be great.
