In the fals of 1996, I had back surgery for a herniated disc. To
alleviate the extreme pain prior to the operation, I was given
anti-inflamatory drugs.
Last spring, when I first started working with my bees again, I was
extrememly sensitive to bee stings. The first half dozen or so stings
swelled up quite badly and took about two weeks each to subside. After
that, I seemed to be less sensitive and by mid summer, things were back
to normal.
