I have a large floater in each eye due to a vitreous separation.  Another joy of old age.  My question for Larry, did your eye swell.

 

Jerry -  

 

Exactly my situation.  I have  a vitreous separation in one eye that causes the floater.  The improvement in the floater appeared within 24 hours of the sting.  When I reported this to the eye doctor he chalked it up to coincidence.  As for swelling, I don't generally swell much from a single sting and any swelling goes away quickly. But it does seem to hurt more getting stung by the eye.

 

I have been keeping bees for 35 years and have reached the age where many of my cohorts have problems with arthritis.  I have none (knock on wood).  Is that due to being stung frequently?  Don't know.  But just in case, I think I will continue to keep bees and get stung.  I would love to see the research on this.

 

Larry
