Bob, How do they 'define' a sting? Does a person need to let a sting pump in all of its venom before removing it? Regards, Waldemar LI, NY >>...researchers have told me it takes approx. 150 stings within a 12 month period to maintain immunity. Full immunity which I believe I carry simply put means I can be stung right next to a ring on my finger and no need to remove the ring. Zero swelling. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
