Could anybody indicate a reference/ article that relates to increased sensitivity to bee venom in non beekeeping immediate family members of active beekeepers. It has been indicated on several occasions that it is advisable to remove the protective clothing used by beekeepers and leave it at the place of work / have the clothing washed away from the home / not to be handled by non beekeeping members of the family.
