Sory it should read '16 months worth of treatment' - I must learn to type
one day!!
>My brother had the same problem and was desensitized. He had 6 months
worth of treatment, then he got stung to see how the treatment was going and
the only evidence that he was stung was a little swelling (he then stopped
the treatment), that was 4 years ago and he workes bees full-time and has
not had any concerns from being stung since. We still carry adrenalin
injections just in case, because we can be 2-3 hours from the nearest
medical help at times.
