In the UK 1 person in 10,000 stands to die of anaphaltic collapse due to extreme allerigc reaction from wasp stings and only 1 in 100, 000 from a bee sting. I have met three people who fall in this catergory, they all have to self inject with andrenaline or andrenaline substitute in the event of stings/ bites. Two were beekeepers. The other is still alive and kicking but gets a mite upset when a swarm stops by. She won't come out of her house. Peter Hutton --- * Origin: Kent Beekeeper Beenet Point (240:244/116)
